Castor "created twenty-two drawings of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange that, like x-ray photographs, enable us to look through the building's walls into its inner spaces in a way that one could neither achieve by means of photography nor by viewing the building in person."
The drawings are "magnificently beautiful," the Getty's guide opines. By "gradually peeling away more and more of the exterior wall, like an archaeologist digging through centuries of rubble... Castor shows that the facade is no more than a thin layer around a circulatory space circumscribing the main exchange halls."
