Pollock glows

It is true. His untitled 1948 drip painting glows in the dark; at least the poster I have in my room does.



I wonder whether the original painting glows as well. I think it is somewhere at the George Pompidou Centre in Paris. But who can actually know if it glows but the night guard at the Centre. 
The way it glows reminds me of an old-fashioned american diner where you can have some coffee and apple pie late at night. Maybe because of the neon lights.
