Viewers can move about them like real paintings, getting close up or far away, and the surface textures — mounds of paint and scratches on canvas — can be seen and felt. The museum, wisely, treats these visions as real-life objects. It actually leaves large spaces on its walls blank, giving credibility to things that aren’t actually there.”
