What have you got against the iconostasis?  That it blocks your view?  The
view is better during Bright Week (the week including and following
Pascha=Easter.)  During Bright Week, the Royal Doors and the Deacon's doors
are all wide open all week, as are the doors (if there are any) to the narthex.

So what other decorations made up for the presence of the iconostasis?
