A Bigger Grand Canyon

A Bigger Grand Canyon is a 1998 painting by David Hockney consisting of 60 canvases (in a 12x5 arrangement) that produce one large (7.4m-wide) picture. It hangs in the National Gallery of Australia, which bought it for $4.6 million. The Cubist-type painting portrays the Grand Canyon in Arizona from many viewpoints and times of day.[1]
