So what is the one piece of art that you most want? Multiple pieces are also acceptable. Please try to show pics. Mine are:
Almost any Alex Grey painting

Yeah. M.C. Escher. Great choice. An all time great artist in my opinion. He's definitely in my top 10. This is my favorite piece by him:
Bond of Union by M.C. Escher
And the painting you were referring to. Relativity by M.C. Escher

I forgot 2 things:
(1)
I'd paint the laws of Logic directly onto my wall.
I'd start with:
P1) P->Q P2) ~Q C1) ~P
(2)
I'd pick one of my larger walls and transcribe my book onto it. Ceiling to floor. Every word.

I have to say, this thread is introducing me to a lot of great new artists. Vladimir Kush is amazing, but way out of my price range, even for prints. Everyone, feel free to post any art on here that you think people might enjoy seeing. Here is some more amazing art: Various Vladimir Kush Pieces:

Call me a dark, sick, twisted fuck if you want, but I have always been a fan of Joel Peter Witkin. He photographs carnival freaks, cadavers, hermaphrodites, and the like in black and white, often remaking or at least referencing religious or other classical artwork. Best part, his original prints are massive. They will also set you back a large chunk of change.
