Any original in the World, What would it be?, by jynormous on Apr 17, 2008 10:24:22 GMT 1, Ok, Iโm guessing everyone is going to soon be sick of talking about Nick Walkers Vandal and Aeroplane prints and why they didnโt get one, so I thought I would lighten the mood a little.
If you could have ANY ORIGINAL by ANY ARTIST from ANY TIME period hanging in your home, what would you select?
Would you go for something predictable like "Mona Lisa" or "The Creation Of Man" just because of their value today? Or would you select an item that you love and was made for a house wall, not a museum?
To start this off, Iโm going to select Roy Lichtensteinโs โWhaamโ as this was the first artwork that I loved as a kid. To me it resembles the entry to a world of art, and to have it on my wall would be closure and I wouldnโt have to buy any more artwork! 
What would you select and why?

My vote goes for Hopper's Nighthawks. I love the way the atmosphere comes across, I always feel like I should be whispering when I see it

but impossible to answer
im a bit old fashioned when it comes to originals...
i would take any jackson pollock happily, if my house was big enough i'd also have the monet's from the l'orangerie in paris and van gogh's starry night to boot....
Oh and bankys wild wild west in the back garden on stilts and floodlight burnt orange at night
;D
