Gallery Four's specific shape accommodates the famous 30 foot long Murakami painting; “Supernova” is naturally lit from a parallel clerestory above which gathers north light to reflect off of the opposite white bulkhead.
Elsewhere in the gallery, four perfect paintings by Vermeer, who defines perfection in art, share an alcove with exciting pictures by the more nonchalant Pieter de Hooch, his fellow citizen of Delft.
The Samian Sibyl by Italian 17th Century master Guernico has been allocated to the National Gallery, while four sculptures and three paper works by Barbara Hepworth have also been donated.
