Sources
Evidence & ReferencesVerification basis and limitations
Evidence-backedCredible sources support core facts; the comparison scope or corroboration remains incomplete.
Basis: direct confirmation by an authority
The current Guinness record listing gives 12,381.02 m² but the same organisation's 9 April 2025 article reports 12,303.87 m², a 77.15 m² discrepancy without a verified correction. The Entry retains the current listing figure under developing status. The artwork was completed in November 2024, unveiled in April 2025, and remote adjudication in Abuja is not proof of the painting's physical production site.
- Ranking confidence
- Uncertain
Comparison boundaries still under review
Two official Guinness pages disagree on canvas area, with no reconciled measurement found. Abuja's remote adjudication location is not asserted as the original painting site.
