wouldn't have him any other way. or avedon. my point was that big is 
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.
