This is just my opinion, but I'd argue that the choices are "nearly everything". I also like Klimt and many graphic novel artists. Regarding the Christmas-tree baubles, I can't help thinking about contextualization - me and Marcel Duchamp (http://www.beatmuseum.org/duchamp/fountain.html) - and the way things change due to the gallery. I recall seeing vaguely similar things to Searle & Blake on gallery walls, though no names offhand.
Fabric is interesting, and it's always good to see an artist - like Klimt - who understands it and uses it. A lot of the Renaissance artists did too, but the combination of age and restoration means that most of the paintings are too darkened, obscured, or smoothed-out for it to be seen really properly.
