often just a way to be sure you are looked at as art. saw a dreadful
photo show of post-mapplethorpe flowers. the composition was stilted,
lacking the grace of mapplethorpe. the artist had a rich husband so
gigantic prints could be purchased from a lab (but what the heck, rm
had a sugar daddy to foot the bill too). they were not art or artful.
they were boring, but hung in a fine art gallery. they were
non-threatening and would go w/sofas, so were, i assume, profitable for
the gallery.
have no problem w/big when it is worth the space. love serra's torqued
ellipses, which are gigantic.
