Hah, it didn't occur to me until I started looking into the history of photomurals, and--thanks to Michael Lobel's great exploration of contemporary photography and scale in the new Artforum--I sucked it up and started reading Michael Fried's new book about the new forme tableau photographic hotness, but this thing looks like that thing:
Lot 360 Mies van der Rohe, Barcelona Pavilion 1929 photomural, printed 1966, 2m x 3.5m [greg.org via lamodern]
Jeff Wall, Morning Cleaning, Mies van der Rohe Foundation, Barcelona, 1999, 1.8m x 3.5m [image via tate.org.uk]
The photomural, printed by architect/curator Craig Ellwood for LACMA's 1966 Mies van der Rohe retrospective, is, of course, of the original pavilion. Wall's 1999 image is of the re-creation.
