Petrit Halilaj, a 38-year-old Kosovar artist, has created a unique installation, titled Abetare, on the roof of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The exhibit includes a large spider-shaped sculpture and a house-like structure, both infused with elements that reflect Halilaj's Balkan heritage and his personal history...

One of Louise Bourgeois's famous "Spider" sculptures will be up for grabs at a sale in Sotheby's New York next month. The price tag could set a record.

The sculpture was purchased by a private collection from the collection of Ursula Hauser, mother of gallery co-founder Manuela Hauser.
