 Fischl refurbished it as a home (though not particularly in Bauhaus style) and hired models who, for several days, pretended to be a couple who lived there.He took 2,000 photographs, which he reworked digitally and used as the basis for a series of paintings, one of which, the monumental "Krefeld Redux, Bedroom #6 (Surviving the Fall Meant Using You for Handholds)" (2004) was purchased by Paul Allen featured in the 2006 Double Take Exhibit at Experience Music Project, where it was juxtaposed with a much smaller Degas pastel.This is by no means the first time Fischl has been compared to Degas.
