Placing a fame & recognition work

Some works are made to be seen from across a room. High contrast, a single decisive gesture, a colour that refuses to sit back. These belong where people arrive and gather — a hallway that opens into a living room, a landing at the top of a staircase, the wall a camera finds first.

Direction: South — the quarter of visibility
Rooms: Living rooms · Hallways · Staircases · Galleries
