Tomaselli's Rainbow

I loved reading Chris Karatnytsky's description of Fred Tomaselli's 
Gravity's Rainbow painting. I wish I was in NYC so I could drop by the Whitney.

Has anyone seen a printed reproduction of this piece? Does the Whitney have 
a catalog for it? (I don't see anything about this on their website. I'll 
have to call them in the morning.)

The description reminds me of some wonderfully wild asymmetric mandala -- I 
can hardly wait to see it.
