I was utterly blown away by this when I saw it in real life – the scale! The immersive quality of it… The way it changes the people in the room with it – a hush came over us. I had always dismissed it as one of the stock canon of reproductions (like Van Gogh’s Sunflowers and Klimt’s Kiss) that you find in unimaginatively decorated self-catering holiday houses, or public restrooms… notepaper, wallpaper… In real life it is a formidable piece of work.
It was actually this work I saw, in the Tate Modern, I think it was… 2007.
too beautiful…it is sad how so many amazing works have lost their meaning and impact due to mass reproduction and commercialisation
