Christoph Niemann’s Bathroom

Illustrator and author Cristoph Niemann brilliantly combines high modernism and the pixel revolution...in his bathroom.

Illustrator and author Cristoph Niemann, in his New York Times blog on Thursday, unveiled his incredible journey through pixelated modern art, in his attempt to — get ready — tile his bathroom. We strongly encourage you to read the entire process.

For my part, I must say, I think I might have chosen Hockney’s Pool with Two Figures for the shower:

'Portrait of an Artist: Pool with two figures' by David Hockney

That said, I unequivocally applaud his shower choice, which he brilliantly reappropriates from one of my all-time favorite artists, Joseph Beuys:
