Not on view
Color photograph of a hotel room with a burgundy-red bed against wood-paneled walls, above four columns of printed diary text beneath the heading 'ROOM 47'
Gelatin silver print grid of nine black-and-white photographs documenting a hotel room interior: an ornate mirror, a double bed with baroque headboard, slippers on the floor, an open book in a bathtub, rumpled white bedding, toiletries on a bathroom shelf, a toilet with towels, a closed umbrella on a patterned bedspread, and a crumpled shirt with a lighter.
