- Physical Description
- An abstract painting done in various shades of grays, browns and greens. The background is painted in thick, unblended horisontal strokes. A group of men, one dressed in blue robes and the rest nude, extend their arms and a white flag, possibly in a sign of surrender or possibly for rescue. All are facing away from the viewer except for one, who is much paler than the others and looks quite emaciated. They appear to be floating on a raft but it is difficult to say if they are on water or land.

- Stiff Box 12
- Artist
- Lucas Samaras
- Physical Description
- Made of thick steel, this sculpture has two very distinct halves. One on side, the thick sheet of steel gracefully curves around and back on itself, making loops and rounded edges. On the reverse, the steel is angular, jagged, and sharp, jutting into the spaces in the sculpture's interior and the space around the whole. At the very center of the piece, along the implied dividing line between the two sides, is a relatively small box.

- Physical Description
- This triptych shows courtesans in a garden of Yoshiwara under flowering trees. The inscribed names allow us to identify the women as courtesans of the Matsubaya House, centered on the grand courtesan Yoso’oi (in the central triptych, with the dragon-design obi). Flanking her on either side are two shinzô apprentices, and at the right, two kamuro or child attendants.
- The courtesans at left interact with a puppet of the actor Ichikawa Danjûrô VI in his role as Sukeroku. The bearded older man in the center is the villain Hige no Ikyû, Sukeroku’s rival for the affections of the courtesan Agemaki.
