 seduction shows us to be objectifiers as well as objectified, illuminating our roles as both accomplices and victims." Brightly colored, large, and bearing references to pop-culture icons like Elvis Presley and Mae West, the sculptures appear to celebrate the exaggerated forms of culturally idealized bodies while simultaneously undermining the forces behind them. Artforum's David Frankel wrote, "there is a certain hilarity and even joyfulness in their comically rounded bulges and furrows, in their colors and fussy corsetry," further noting that <mask>'s work "examines the roles imposed on women in the theater of male expectation while also allowing a space for women to act in that theater without being limited by it—in effect, by taking over the play." Humor, limitation and the transcendence of limitation are common themes in her art, and the artist has cited the latter—which she calls "unruliness"—as being a key inspiration to her work. Early balloon sculptures
<mask>'s work spans multiple art disciplines but she is best known for large, inflatable abstract sculptures that erotically reference the human female form.Smith, Roberta. "Judy Ledgerwood: 'April Showers,'" The New York Times, June 23, 2011.Retrieved February 2, 2021. Fashioned from latex weather balloons, the works have a bulbous, fleshy appearance and are seen as hyper-feminized abstractions of erogenous body parts—a visual interpretation reinforced by <mask>'s use of fishnet lace, rope, and other culturally eroticized textiles to adorn, constrict and shape the tautly inflated forms.Debord, M. "US Shorts," Artforum, September, 1999. Retrieved February 2, 2021. One early configuration involved constricting single balloons with a corset and featured bifurcated bulges on both top and bottom, mimicking the curves of buttocks and breasts. This design gave rise to several works and the artist—as well as critics—began

"The Female Identity, Discussed in Art," The New York Times, April 1, 2016.Retrieved February 2, 2021. Blue Moon (1998) was included in the group show, "Sculpture-Figure-Woman" (Landesgalerie, 1998) which originated in Linz, Austria and travelled to Chemnitz, Germany; the piece was subsequently featured in Der Spiegel magazine. <mask>'s stable of undergarment-clad works also include the egg-like Netella (1998), as well as Buttress (1998) and Dulcinea (1999)—two pillar-like stack sculptures over fifteen feet high. As with Lulu, <mask> revisited Buttress, reprising it with the similar but distinct, bright green Stacked in 2016.McMahon, Katherine.

Hang 'Em High (1999), was nearly twenty feet square and featured side-by-side red spheres veiled by netting and hung by a rope, which also bound the piece vertically at the center.The latex period also saw the introduction of a recurrent, literal "gaze" theme in <mask>'s sculpture, by way of spherical forms that overtly reference the human eye. In her 1998–9 piece, Carnivaleyes, twelve fabric-wrapped pairs of eyes form a wall, their gazes askance. In 2001, she created a twelve-by-fifteen-foot-square installation at the Contemporary Arts Center that featured a mound of cartoonish eye pairs presented with an immersive sound element. In her 2017 piece, Eyeenvy, a 14-ft-high eyeball looks down on viewers from atop a four-legged platform. Later sculpture

Echoing her latex piece Hang 'Em High, the installation featured an anthropomorphic red double-sphere, viewable from both above and below and suspended from the center by a thick blue rope.In 2005, a Creative Capital Artist Grant funded research for a new body of work—an exploration of the cowgirl archetype. The results were exhibited in her solo shows, "Dustup" (2012) and "Let 'er Buck" (2013), and featured giant nylon inflatables together with other types of work. The piece Dustup (2012) is based, according to <mask>, on the classic-comic convention of portraying skirmishes as "dustballs" and takes the form of three bulbous, boot- and tassel-clad forms in pink, yellow and blue, suspended around a central point, "legs up." The piece Let 'er Buck (2013) poses the pink character from Dustup singly, in a standing posture. Between 2016 and 2018, <mask> did multiple solo exhibitions—including "Ridin' High" (2016) and "Per Sway" (2017–8), both of which featured new veins of work. One prominent theme involved the relationship of privilege to vantage point and had eyeballs and knots of various character mounted atop platforms of various heights. In 2020, <mask> collaborated with Lakshmi Ramgopal to create the exhibition "Hive" at the Krannert Art Museum, a year-long, immersive installation that includes sculpture, sound and light.Two eighteen-foot-high <mask> sculptures fill the glass-enclosed entrance to the Krannert's Kinkead Pavilion, while a soundscape created by Ramgopal projects abstract vocalizations of breath, including inhales, sighs and hums. <mask>'s Hive inflatables are soft, pink and rounded, and contrast with the hard, angular qualities of the postmodern-style pavilion.

 pattern. Hive appears to have derived from a smaller, similar <mask> piece—Bigarurre—which was included in the artist's 2017–8 solo show, "Per Sway." Photography and video
In addition to sculpture, <mask> has also produced photographic and video works, many of which use her sculptures and art materials as subjects. In her solo show, "nobutsaboutit" (1998, 1999), <mask> exhibited multiple series of images she created from photographs of two of her sculptures: Musette (1994) and Spin Too! (1995).The images frame details of the sculptures and mirror them along the center line for a symmetrical effect which—in line with <mask>'s three-dimensional works—references the cleaved curves of buttocks and breasts. Because of the close-up, cropped nature of the scenes, the inanimate origin of the images is somewhat disguised, leaving viewers to believe it could be human. The feminist undertones of the series have been noted by reviewers, including New York Times critic Ken Johnson, who wrote, "By constructing such images instead of photographing real women, Ms. <mask> means to reflect on the media's construction of women as objects of desire, and she does so in works that are, like the icons they evoke, from Mae West to Marilyn Monroe, seductive and slyly ironic." In 1999, <mask> exhibited her first video work, Breathless (1999), as part of the immersive media for a show of her works at Philadelphia's Institute of Contemporary Art. It captured a pink weather balloon in its deflation process bouncing around a room, interspliced with scenes of the balloon being inflated and overlaid with balloon sounds. In 2009, her rodeo research for the cowgirl project led to the creation of All Stories Are True, a five-minute, slow-motion video of men performing rodeo. The video was overlaid with enhancements, including a visual and audio camera-flash effect and slowed-tempo music.<mask>,

<mask> (April 16, 1852 – March 6, 1924) was a three-term U.S. Congressman from New York, a leader of the New York Democratic Party, and a renowned real estate and stock speculator. In 1879 at the age of 27, he took control of Monticello, <mask>'s home. His late uncle Uriah P<mask> had purchased the property in 1834, several years after <mask>'s death. Like his uncle, <mask> spent a considerable part of his fortune having Monticello and its grounds restored and preserved. In 1923, the property was purchased by the Thomas Jefferson Foundation (then known as the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation), a privately established group formed to purchase and operate Monticello as a memorial. It has since operated the site and mansion as a house museum.The <mask> family privately protected the National Historic Landmark for nearly a century because of their regard for <mask> and on behalf of the American people. Early life and education
Born in New York City to <mask> and Frances (Phillips<mask>, an American Jewish couple, <mask> was one of five children. His father was a merchant and sea captain, and his mother was a descendant of Jonas Phillips and his wife Rebecca Machado. <mask> and his siblings attended public and private schools. His mother's parents had immigrated from Germany and London in the mid-18th century, respectively, and his father's Sephardic Jewish ancestors, also from London, were among the first settlers of Savannah, Georgia in 1733. <mask> graduated from the New York University Law School in 1873. He was admitted to the bar and practiced in New York City, making money in real estate investment and finance.Monticello

 Navy, had bought Monticello and some related property in 1834. He had spent much money to restore and preserve the house and grounds, which he used as a summer retreat. During the American Civil War, the Confederacy took control of the property. After the war, the lawyers of <mask>'s estate regained it for his heirs. In 1879, after buying out the other heirs of his uncle Uriah P<mask> for $10,050, <mask> took control of Monticello (formerly the plantation of Thomas Jefferson). When <mask> took over, the grounds had been reduced to 218 acres. During his tenure, he bought 500 acres to add to the complex.The house and grounds were in severe disrepair due to the overseer Joel Wheeler's lack of care and lengthy lawsuits among the heirs after his uncle's death. <mask> spent hundreds of thousands of dollars repairing, restoring, and preserving Monticello, work led by Thomas Rhodes, his on-site superintendent. <mask> regularly spent four months a year at the estate and became active in Charlottesville. In 1880 he paid for the restoration of the Town Hall, originally built as a theater, and named it the Levy Opera House. He allowed visitors to see the house, Monticello, sometimes getting as many as 60 per day. Beginning about 1909, Maud Littleton, the wife of New York Congressman John Littleton, started a campaign to have the U.S. Congress buy the mansion and property, and turn it into a government-run monument to <mask>. Part of her campaign was heated.Dismayed by newspaper articles that belittled <mask>'s ownership (<mask> was also a Congressman from New York at the time), the Albemarle Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) in November 1912 unanimously adopted the following resolution:

<mask>, OD (born 5 August 1972) is a Jamaican former professional footballer. He is the former head coach of Jamaica national football team. Club career

<mask> attended St. James High School in Montego Bay, Jamaica. During his late teens, he worked as a Baked Goods delivery assistant with National Continental Foods, now National Baking Company, in Montego Bay before moving on to play football in the Jamaica National Premiere League. By default, he left his job at National Continental foods after the salesperson he worked for was terminated for stabbing a defenseless office employee in early 1992. As a very skillful and creative for a player despite his tall frame, he started his club career at Montego Bay Boys Club, and has since played for Violet Kickers and Seba United in his native Jamaica. He was signed on a free by English league side Hull City following a one-week trial with the club, where he played together with compatriot Ian Goodison, until an accident in Jamaica cut short his Hull career.<mask> made his debut in an F.A. Cup tie against Macclesfield. On his league debut, away at Rochdale, <mask> scored a league debut goal. During his 77 games for Hull, he became something of a fan favourite during a relatively unhappy time for the club; who were lurking in the basement of the English Football League, struggling with financial insecurities. Scottish team Livingston acquired his services in 2003, and in June 2004 he signed for Tranmere Rovers. He had his contract terminated in January 2006 by mutual consent. He returned to Jamaica to become player/coach for his former team Seba United.International career
<mask> made his debut for Jamaica in a November 1993 friendly match against the United States, coming on as a late substitute for Hector Wright. <mask> earned 105 official international caps and scored 24 goals for the Jamaica national team. He was a key member of the Reggae Boyz' squad during the second half of the 1990s, playing as a major catalyst for the Jamaicans as they advanced to their first and only

 World Cup in 1998. Although Jamaica was eliminated in the first round, <mask> scored two goals in Jamaica's only win of the competition, a 2–1 victory against Japan. In that same year he was named Caribbean Footballer of the Year. His last international match was also against the United States, a 1–1 away draw on 17 November 2004 during 2006 World Cup qualification in which he was substituted for Jason Euell in the 72nd minute. Managerial career

Seba United
When <mask> returned to Seba United in 2006, he returned as both a player and a coach.Jamaica
In November 2007, he was brought on as interim manager of the Jamaica national team after the firing of former manager Bora Milutinović. Jamaica won both games, friendlies against El Salvador and Guatemala, under his watch. He was then retained as an assistant under new coach Renê Simões. Simões lasted nine months as manager due to poor play in the third round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers, and upon his release on 11 September 2008, he was again appointed interim manager until newly appointed manager John Barnes would be available in November. As interim manager in October 2008, <mask> guided the Reggae Boyz to back-to-back 1–0 wins against Mexico and Honduras that gained him tremendous support as a manager and put the Jamaicans into range for advancement with one game remaining in semifinal round group play. He again took the reins of the national team when John Barnes left the position in June 2009, to take up a management job at <mask>'s former club Tranmere Rovers in the English League. <mask>'s team struggled during the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup and were eliminated in the first round.As a part of the national team rebuilding efforts which started in August 2009, he led the squad to three draws and one win to end 2009. In December 2010, he led Jamaica to the 2010 Digicel Cup title. After qualifying Jamaica for the CONCACAF Hexagonal final round in 2012, <mask> resigned as head coach in June 2013.

On 4 August 2008, <mask> signed for Blackburn Rovers on a season-long loan deal. <mask> made his Blackburn debut on 27 August 2008, playing in Rovers' 4–1 win over Grimsby Town in the League Cup Second Round.

 the first Canadian to win a medal in track's marquee event since Bruny Surin raced to silver in 1999.After the final <mask>e said "I didn't know who had won the race, I didn't know you could actually tie with someone for a bronze medal. So I am very happy for Trayvon and proud of myself to come away with a personal best. To race against these guys and make the final, I couldn't end the season any better than that. I can't let [the lane assignment] distract me. At the end of the day, it's the 100m final. This was the biggest race of my life so I wasn't going to think about no lane assignment. I had a lot of confidence after the semi-finals, being that close to Bolt, and that raised my confidence for the final."<mask>e also participated in the 4 × 100m relay where he won a second bronze medal, running a 38.13 together with Aaron Brown, Brendon Rodney, and Justyn Warner. <mask>e turned professional in December 2015, signing with Puma for $11.25 million. 2016 season

 rival Justin Gatlin. He became the first male athlete to win a medal for Canada at the 2016 Summer Olympics. <mask>'s medal sparked talk of him being Bolt's heir apparent in the athletics world, a claim which Bolt supported:

<mask> said of his relationship with Bolt after that "We were just having some fun. Me (sic) and Usain met back in January, we did a lot of things together. He feels like I'm the next one, and now I'm just trying to live up to it."Former Canadian Olympic Champion Donovan Bailey was seen jumping up and down in the CBC Sports studio, cheering on <mask>e. After, he said, "I'm shaking. This is great for track and field in Canada." In the 200 m, <mask>e had the fastest time in the heats of 20.09. <mask> and Bolt were lined up beside each other once again in the semi finals. Bolt led at halfway, when <mask>e suddenly rushed to his shoulder appearing to try to beat him. The two exchanged smiles and crossed the line together, one of the most iconic moments of the games.<mask>e claimed his strategy was to tire Bolt out before the final, which Bolt did not appear to appreciate. <mask>'s time of 19.80 was a new Canadian record, and he became the first Canadian to make it to the finals of the 200m since Atlee Mahorn at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul. Despite his tactic, <mask> finished behind Bolt again, this time with the silver medal in 20.02, the first Canadian to win a medal in the 200m since Percy Williams at the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam. <mask> ran the anchor for the finals of the 4 x 100 m relay. Initially in 6th place, <mask> made an incredible close on Japan and the United States by about 4 metres, though he narrowly missed the bronze medal by 0.02 seconds. Despite this, the Canadians set a new national record of 37.64 seconds, breaking the record set in 1996 in Atlanta.

As in 2016, <mask> had a rocky start to his season, but quickly picked up again. He took Diamond League wins over the 100m in Oslo and Stockholm, and 200m wins in Rome and Rabat. His time in Stockholm of 9.69w (+4.8 m/s) was over the 2.0 m/s wind limit, but the 4th fastest in history regardless. With Bolt choosing to forego the 200m, <mask> was considered a strong favourite for the world title in London. His main goal was to beat Bolt in the 100m before his retirement after the championships. After winning both the 100m and 200m national titles, <mask> was in contention to make the same double in London and defeat the world record holder. However, just days before the world championships, <mask> strained his hamstring and was forced to pull out of both events, effectively ending his goal of beating Bolt before his retirement.A few weeks earlier, the two were set to face off in Monaco, but <mask> was reportedly pulled out the race. His coach claimed it was Bolt's doing, likely involving contract clauses with Bolt's team, who were unwilling to see <mask> potentially defeat him before the championships. A few days later, Bolt also said in an interview that "The last guy I said was going to be great disrespected me", a comment interpreted to be about <mask> and his unexpected move in the semifinals of the 200 in Rio. Despite the apparent tensions, Bolt admitted he would have liked to race <mask> in London. 2018 season
On January 10, 2018, <mask> was named to Canada's 2018 Commonwealth Games team. However, he had withdrawn before the games began due to his hamstring injury.

A month later, he won his first Diamond League victory in two years at the Rabat 200m event, beating the reigning World champion Ramil Guliyev. Ultimately, he would finish on the podium in five of seven 100m events and all six 200m in the leadup to the World Championships.The next week, he beat Christian Coleman at the Ostrava Golden Spike in the 200m with 19.91.

His subsequent 100 m starts, including two appearances on the 2021 Diamond League circuit, saw times of over ten seconds. He enjoyed more success in the 200m, finishing in the top three in all of his three Diamond League appearances, including winning the Oslo event with a time of 20.09. As well, he participated in the Müller British Grand Prix as part of the Canadian 4 x 100m relay team, which placed second with a time of 38.29. 2020 Summer Olympics
<mask> was named to the 2020 Canadian Olympic team, and was identified as one of Canada's top medal contenders in athletics, notwithstanding some of his early results that year. Former Olympic champion Donovan Bailey dismissed concerns regarding <mask>e's times, stating that in his view he was "more concerned that he's injury-free and been consistent." Upon arrival in Tokyo for the 2020 Summer Olympics, <mask>e began by competing in the heats of the men's 100m.He easily won his heat, posting a new season best time of 9.91, just 0.01 shy of his personal best from two years before, and ended up with the fastest time in any of the heats. He was second in his semi-final behind Fred Kerley, running 9.98, and advanced to the final. In the final, <mask>e had the unfavourable ninth lane placement, and was slow off the blocks, but rapidly gained ground over the final forty metres of the race to finish

 in third place and claim his second bronze medal in the event, with a new personal best time of 9.89. This was Canada's fourteenth medal of the Tokyo Olympics, and the first for a male athlete. The lack of medals for Canadian men had become a point of media and viewer discussion through the first nine days of the Games. He also became the first Canadian man to win multiple Olympic medals in the 100 m.

<mask>e next competed in the heats of the 200 m, qualifying automatically as the third man in his heat with 20.56. This had him again in the unfavourable ninth lane when in his semi-final, where he set a new personal best and national record of 19.73, the fastest time in the semi-final phase.<mask> then went on to win the gold medal in the 200m final in a personal best and Canadian record time of 19.62 seconds, making him the 8th fastest of all-time over 200 metres. This was Canada's first track gold medal since 1996, and first gold medal in the 200m since Percy Williams' victory in 1928. <mask> was the only male sprinter to compete in both the 100 and 200 m races in Tokyo. Hours after his gold medal win, <mask> competed in the heats of the 4x100 m relay alongside Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake and Brendon Rodney. Again taking the anchor leg, at the point <mask> took the baton from Rodney the Canadian team was judged to be in approximately fifth place, but <mask> reached the finish line in second, only two thousandths of a second behind Chinese anchor runner Wu Zhiqiang. The Canadian team's qualifying time was third-fastest in the heats, behind Jamaica and China. <mask>e repeated this performance in the event final, taking Canada from fifth to the bronze medal position on the anchor leg, securing his sixth Olympic medal.This bronze was later upgraded to a silver when the team from Great Britain was disqualified. This tied him with Cindy Klassen and Clara Hughes as the second-most decorated Canadian Olympian

<mask> (April 14, 1840 – July 17, 1924) was a leading American art collector, philanthropist, and patron of the arts. She founded the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. <mask> possessed an energetic intellectual curiosity and a love of travel. She was a friend of noted artists and writers of the day, including John Singer Sargent, James McNeill Whistler, Dennis Miller Bunker, Anders Zorn, Henry James, Okakura Kakuzo and Francis Marion Crawford. <mask> created much fodder for the gossip columns of the day with her reputation for stylish tastes and unconventional behavior. The Boston society pages called her by many names, including "Belle," "<mask>," "<mask> of Boston," and "Mrs. Jack". Her surprising appearance at a 1912 concert (at what was then a very formal Boston Symphony Orchestra) wearing a white headband emblazoned with "Oh, you Red Sox" was reported at the time to have "almost caused a panic", and still remains in Boston one of the most talked about of her eccentricities.Biography

<mask> was born in New York City on April 14, 1840, the daughter of wealthy linen-merchant <mask> and Adelia <mask> (née Smith). She grew up in Manhattan. From age five to fifteen she attended a nearby academy for girls where she studied  art, music, and dance, as well as French and Italian. Attendance at Grace Church exposed her to religious art, music and ritual. At age 16, she and her family moved to Paris where she was enrolled in a school for American girls; her classmates included members of the wealthy <mask> family of Boston. In 1857 she was taken to Italy and in Milan saw Gian Giacomo Poldi Pezzoli's collection of Renaissance art arranged in rooms designed to recall historical

Shortly after returning, her former classmate <mask> invited her to Boston, where she met Julia's brother John Lowell "Jack" <mask>. Three years her senior, he was the son of John L. and Catharine E. (Peabody) <mask>, and one of Boston's most eligible bachelors. They married in Grace Church on April 10, 1860, and then lived in a house that <mask>'s father gave them, at 152 Beacon Street in Boston. They resided there for the rest of Jack's life. Jack and <mask> had one son, born on June 18, 1863; he died from pneumonia on March 15, 1865. A year later <mask> suffered a miscarriage and was told she could not bear any more children.Her close friend and sister-in-law died about the same time. <mask> became extremely depressed and withdrew from society. On the advice of doctors, she and Jack traveled to Europe in 1867. <mask> was so ill that she had to be taken aboard the ship on a stretcher. The couple spent almost a year traveling, visiting Scandinavia and Russia but spending most of their time in Paris. The trip had the desired effect on <mask>'s health and became a turning point in her life. It was on this trip that she began her lifelong habit of keeping scrapbooks of her travels.Upon her return, she began to establish her reputation as a fashionable, high-spirited socialite. In 1875 Jack's brother, Joseph P<mask>, died, leaving three young sons. Jack and <mask> "adopted" and raised the boys. Augustus P<mask> was 10 years old at the time. <mask>'s biographer, Morris Carter, wrote that "in her duty to these boys, she

 was faithful and conscientious". Travel and collecting

In 1874, <mask> and <mask> visited the Middle East, Central Europe and Paris. Beginning in the late 1880s, they traveled frequently across America, Europe and Asia to discover foreign cultures and expand their knowledge of art around the world.Jack and <mask> would take more than a dozen trips abroad over the years, keeping them out of the country for a total of ten years. The earliest works in the <mask>s' collection were accumulated during their trips to Europe especially. In 1891, she started to focus on European fine art after inheriting $1.75 million from her father. One of her first acquisitions was The Concert by Vermeer (c. 1664), purchased at a Paris auction house in 1892. She also collected from other places abroad such as Egypt, Turkey, and the Far East. The <mask>s began to collect in earnest in the late 1890s, rapidly building a world-class collection primarily of paintings and sculpture, but also tapestries, photographs, silver, ceramics and manuscripts, and architectural elements such as doors, stained glass, and mantelpieces. In the early years of the 20th century, <mask> traveled with friend and Boston architect Edmund March Wheelwright to collect for the Harvard Lampoon Building, also called "Lampoon Castle", a faux Flemish castle in Harvard Square.<mask> donated many pieces of art to the castle over her years of collecting. The value of this collection is uncertain, due to the secret nature of the Lampoon. Nearly seventy works of art in her collection were acquired with the help of connoisseur Bernard Berenson. Among the collectors with whom she competed was Edward Perry Warren, who supplied a number of

 works to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The <mask> collection includes works by some of Europe's most important artists, such as Botticelli's Madonna and Child with an Angel, Titian's Rape of Europa, Fra Angelico's Dormition and Assumption of the Virgin, and Diego Velázquez's King Philip IV of Spain. She purchased some of her collection on her own, but often asked for male colleagues, such as her business partner, to purchase on her behalf as it was uncommon for women to participate in art collecting. <mask> <mask>'s favorite foreign destination was Venice, Italy.The <mask>s regularly stayed at the Palazzo Barbaro, a major artistic center for a circle of American and English expatriates in Venice, and visited Venice's artistic treasures with amateur artist and former Bostonian Ralph Curtis. While in Venice, <mask> bought art and antiques, attended the opera and dined with expatriate artists and writers. Museum creation
By 1896, <mask> and <mask> recognized that their house on Beacon Street in Boston's Back Bay, although enlarged once, was not sufficient to house their growing collection of art, including works by Botticelli, Vermeer, and Rembrandt. After Jack's sudden death in 1898, <mask> realized their shared dream of building a museum for their treasures. She purchased land for the museum in the marshy Fenway area of Boston, and hired architect Willard T. Sears to build a museum modeled on the Renaissance palaces of Venice. <mask> was deeply involved in every aspect of the design, though, leading Sears to quip that he was merely the structural engineer making <mask>'s design possible. The building completely surrounds a glass-covered garden courtyard, the first of its kind

A large music room originally spanned the first and second floors on one side of the building, but <mask> later split the room to make space to display a large John Singer Sargent painting called El Jaleo on the first floor and tapestries on the second floor. After the building was ready, <mask> spent a year carefully installing her collection according to her personal aesthetic. The eclectic gallery installations, paintings, sculpture, textiles, and furniture from different periods and cultures combine to create a rich, complex and unique narrative. In the Titian Room,  Titian's masterpiece The Rape of Europa (1561–1562) hangs above a piece of pale green silk, which had been cut from one of <mask> <mask>'s gowns designed by Charles Frederick Worth. Throughout the collection, similar stories, intimate portrayals, and discoveries abound. The museum privately opened on January 1, 1903, with a grand opening celebration featuring a performance by members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and a menu that included champagne and doughnuts.It opened to the public months later with a variety of paintings, drawings, furniture and other objects dating from ancient Egypt to Matisse. The museum is still arranged with a variety of textiles, furniture, and paintings floor to ceiling. Illness and death

In 1919, <mask> <mask> suffered the first of a series of strokes and died five years later, on July 17, 1924, at the age of 84. She is buried in the <mask> family tomb at Mount Auburn Cemetery located in Watertown and Cambridge, between her husband and her son. Legacy

When Anne Hawley became director, she decided not to live there.Six months after Anne took office, the museum was robbed. More recently, it has been converted for use as museum offices. Her will created an endowment of $1 million and outlined stipulations for support of the museum, including that the permanent collection not be significantly altered. In keeping with her philanthropic nature, her will also left sizable bequests to the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, Industrial School for Crippled and Deformed Children, Animal Rescue League of Boston, and Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. A devout Anglo-Catholic, she requested in her will that the Cowley Fathers celebrate an annual Memorial Requiem Mass for the repose of her soul in the museum chapel.
