Intended.


The exhibit, which opens Apr. 8, reunites a Monet triptych, whose panels have long since been acquired by three museums, for the first time in three decades. The 14-feet wide, 6-feet-tall paintings are hung together, in a panorama, as Monet intended, not separated by space and not surrounded by other paintings -- similarly, as I recall, to the way another water lillies series is hung at l'Orangerie in Paris (and, maybe an old installation at the Museum of Modern Art?).

Read the rest here.

Monet, Reflections of Clouds on the Water Lily Pond (left panel), 1920
