Eyes or boobs? Corneas or areolae? Louise Bourgeois' sculpture, 'Eyes' in Battery Park is just like the artist was- cleverly deceiving. I loved how the late Bourgeois sorta looked like someone's sweet grandmother, while holding a penis sculpture or vulva with eyes. Her two part sculpture in Battery Park is supposed to be eyes, but with the protruding pupils, we know better.
