Sam and Mark,
You print 2"X2" images on a 44" piece of paper,
you still have the same storage problems.
You guys spending too much time jacking yourself around.

Mark,
Very keen observations.
Funny how no one mentioned that many
larger works are sold to cover larger corporate offices and reception
areas. So, for the reception area wall of 120 feet, how big should the
print be? Divide what by 1.62?
Also, Sandy got it all wrong: just
because we have 44" printers doesn't mean we print 44x50"
prints all day long. You can print 2"x2" images on these
machines. And 2"x2" images look gorgeous on 44"
paper!

Clair,
I googled Donald Evans and enjoyed seeing his make believe stamps very
much-tragic that he died so young. Thanks for that
reference!
One impact on art size is that homes have gotten much bigger with
larger wall spaces to fill. Since I do mostly printmaking on
demand, I can size the print to fit the space. I use the
following formula based on the Golden Ratio to determine the
horizontal width of the print:
For living rooms:
Width of Print=Couch Length/1.62
For bathrooms:
Width of Print=Commode Width/1.62
(Note: since new homes sometimes have dual commodes, you may have to
double the commode width.)
For bedrooms:
Width of Print=Bed Width/1.62
Sometimes I determine the size of the print based on the amount of
detail in the image and the importance of it- making the print
large enough so that this detail is visible.
Best Wishes,
Mark Nelson

I just wanted to throw in the name of Donald Evans (now deceased)
a lowlander who created postage stamps for invented countries and
executed them in watercolor. They are sights to behold.
Completely elegant.
