Installation rules for "Détails Painted"

NO LIGHTNING REFLECTION TO BE SEEN ON THE SURFACE OF THE “DETAILS PEINTS”

Set back from the wall of 3-4 cm – depending on the irregularity of the surface. Minimal space of 8 cm between each canvas, equivalent to four fingers of the artist’s hand. Roman OPALKA used to stretch his hand on the wall, putting his thumb up next to the Détail he was hanging, determining in that way the position of the following.

The bottom of the canvas must be about 60 cm off the ground, never 40 or 30 cm, which would be too low. Here too, about sixty centimeters because of the possible irregularity of the wall or the floor. When put under the unique frame approved by Roman OPALKA, no lightning reflection is to be seen on the surface.
