The Forbidden I Ching
Before entering the Dia:Beacon gallery, I asked if taking photos was allowed, and was assured it was. But after taking this shot of Walter de Maria's 360 I Ching/ 64 Sculptures (1981) I was chastised by a guard because "It is forbidden to take photos of this work only." Too late. Made of white lacquer on wooden sticks, the sculptures consist of all 64 possible combinations of the Chinese I Ching fortune-telling sticks on a red background, spread over 2 rooms and 10,000 square feet.
