(I am assuming that, for the price of c. $50,000, the installation would be as good as it gets.)

From Dec. 21, conductor Herbert Blomstedt — age 97 — after the final bars of Bruckner's Ninth Symphony with the Berlin Philharmonic, followed by one minute of silence.

With deep thanks to my pal James Parsons, who snagged the image from the orchestra's digitalconcerthall.com

That would be nice, though I suspect that one would need to plant the artwork and water it--perhaps some of the seeds would sprout?
