Some great picks already! I'll admit I'm not the biggest art scholar so some of my picks you might have already seen ad nauseam :ase:

The Whistler is fantastic, I've loved that painting for a while. I've still yet to see a Rothko in person, and I know that's very much the intended and required setting, so I suppose I'm waiting to get the full effect of those.
