Quite so. Given my choice of the famous prints circulating out 
there, cost no object, several of the ones that I dream of 
owning are the little (4 x 6" or so) prints made by Andre Kertz
(sp!), many of them as postcards. Small prints, particularly
in odd sizes, can be very very striking. 

Of course there are also the Paul Strand 16 x 20s that I saw 
at SF MOMA last year, too. Couple of those could go on the
wall even if they are of conventional size No problem. ;-)
