A museum of paintings that were never painted.
Twenty-five painters, each given a studio in the present day and asked to paint what they see. Nothing here is a copy. Every piece is a new motif rendered the way that painter would have seen it, then chosen by a curator who says no far more often than yes.
Twenty-five rooms, a hundred and twenty-five paintings. Twenty-five of them move.
The rooms, in the order the painters were born: Bruegel, c. 1525, to Basquiat, 1960.
