She had a remarkable eye for the extraordinary and intimate.

Not sure how I would feel about that hanging system, maybe wear bright colours and go as a Mondrian? Seriously, it does look like it would work better than densely packed walls.

I can see how it fits with the name of the exhibit; “Constellation”, though. You can see off into the distance through the rack arrangement. It would have been even more apt to put the most recent works at the front, and gradually go back in time to the earliest ones at the end, as we see with photos of the universe.

The display system is reminiscent of the racking system used to store framed works.

ETA, and of course, the male curator gave her male mentor pride of place, displayed prominently above all her other works.
