  • Eric Fischl, Ten Breaths: Tumbling Woman II, 2007-2008, bronze, Smithsonian American Art Museum, © 2008, Eric Fischl, Gift of the James F. Dicke Family, 2013.86

Gallery Label
In Ten Breaths: Tumbling Woman II, Eric Fischl used a single figure to call attention to the human dimension of the September 11th attack on the World Trade Center. Fischl intended Tumbling Woman to be "a healing object" for mourners of this unprecedented loss. The vulnerability of the human body, a motif Fischl used in sculptures before 2001, takes on special significance in this tragic context.
