One of the foremost members of the Pictures Generation, Louise Lawler has played an indelible role in shaping how we consider images. Following her groundbreaking retrospective at MoMA, Louise Lawler's contribution to Swiss Re's collection is an image from the "Adjusted to Fit" series, in which a photograph she took is torqued or stretched to fit the location of its display.

Resonating with the prominent presence of Sol Lewitt's work in Swiss Re's collection, the photograph depicts the installation of a Sol Lewitt wall drawing that will be adjusted to fit an expansive wall on the 43rd floor.
