11x14 was mine and most my friends portfolios it was the default size I was
less fond of 8x10's.
A "large" print was an 16x20 but there were plenty of shows in galleries
which were 11x14.
I had my darkroom designed to manage trays for 20x24" prints and made plenty
for clients and shows.
But I several times made from 35mm negs even 30x40 inch prints at the rental
color lab which was set up for it.
Which look fine until you put them next to one from medium format film.

Printing larger sizes makes you think harder about spending more money for
glass, hence my Leica ASPH Apo's and Hassy glass like my 100mm f/3.5 Planar
CFi T* and the use of slower films and tripods. And the use of acutance
developers instead of solvent developers.
In other words; your technique.
