Art at IKEA

After a breakfast on cake leftovers and a delicious fruit salad with Karen and Massimo, I met Hanne at IKEA. Since it was an open sunday afternoon in quite a few shops in Berlin, Hanne wanted to look for a new mattress taking her time lying on some to be able to decide better upon the matress of her choice.
In the end we spent four hours at the swedish furniture shop, and it was too late to go to the preview of "Bamako" at Hackesche Höfe. We found lovely pillows and flowers and carpets though, and left the place quite loaden. On my way out I happened to pass some huge pictures looking quite different from the usual IKEA stuff. I especially was attracted by a portrait of a woman in a magical garden going towards a small romantic hut.
When back home I had to check the web to look for the pictures, and found it was a special sale of swedish art for very cheap prizes. The one I had loved at first sight was by Denise Grünstein, a famous photographer and teacher at Stockholm art school. Checking google a bit I managed to hit this website on her. Hope you'll like it as well!
I wonder: Should I buy the pic and hang it onto my white bedroom wall?
