It's very interesting to works of art transformed this way.

I just think "The Physical Impossibility..." was made by Damien Hirst.

Thanks for it.

Fabulous.

Nice.

i really dont care about all the psychoanalysis/art stuff but this was just a very cool image

A really neat image and I enjoyed solving it and watching it develop.

On the other hand, if this is intended for the current WCP, it fails on three counts - the title is incorrect, I don't see a clear blue square, the size, as I understand it, is to be 40x40.

If this was intended for the WCP, please don't delete it. Change the title to a non WCP one and create a separate puzzle. Leave this one as it is - it's too nice.

actually he does have plenty of blue squares that qualify (i took the rule that qwerty listed as meaning "at least" 1 blue square of 2x2 or greater but maybe he did in fact mean just 1 blue square)

i don't see a "WCP" in the title

It seems that Saatchi commissioned the work, and Hirst created it.

Sorry, my mistake.

very nice

Sorry bugsboo, I don't agree and you knew I wouldn't! <smile> In my book, and I'm hoping the judges', two blue squares abutting one another become a rectangle. I read the rules to mean that the square had to stand out and, while I've seen some exceptions I had trouble with but were acceptable, in this case the I don't believe the squares are discernable.

In any case, the other circumstances that don't meet the rules make this puzzle ineligible and, for now, the question irrelevant.

Interesting puzzle.

Interesting artist.
