Eric Fischl's "Tumbling Woman" (2001-2002)

Not a lot of time to ruminate on this now, but an interesting figural response to the artist's friend who worked on the 106th floor of the North Tower of the World Trade Center. It caused controversy when it was displayed at Rockefeller Center in 2002. Raises some interesting questions about figuration and terrorism memorials, and is mentioned in Erika Doss's excellent book Memorial Mania: Public Feeling in America.

Here's an interview with the artist and David Rakoff: http://www.newyorkartworld.com/interviews/fischl-rakoff.html
