My mother worked security at a Tyco Toys distribution center in the 80's, and one Christmas was all Dino-Riders action figures and VHS tapes. None of my other friends knew WTF I was talking about when I told them. I think they may have been an early release / test market at the time.

We also got talking pull string Ed Grimley dolls that year. I was 5 and had no idea who he was.

When it hung at The Art Institute of Chicago, it had a really special place in a quiet Americana room downstairs.

When I went to see it at MoMA, I was absolutely shocked. It's in a busy hallway by some bathrooms.

WTF, MoMA? For reals. It's hard to appreciate such subtle beauty with hundreds of people shuffling by.
