In 1994, Rachel Feinstein (pictured) cast herself as Sleeping Beauty, spending her nights (and
days) inside a storybook house she built for a group show in lower Manhattan. Her sculp-
tures remain fairy-tale fanciful, but their contexts have become higher profile: this summer, the art-
ist unveiled a new work on the grounds of Chatsworth House, in Derbyshire, England. On Nov. 1,
the Jewish Museum opens “Maiden, Mother, Crone,” Feinstein’s first museum exhibition in the U.S.
