Three of the pieces, including Huck's Hello My Name Is Dunny shown above will be displayed as part of the central <a href="http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/exhibitions.php?id=7191&ref=calendar">MOMA design galleries exhibit</a> on the 3rd floor starting December 21, and will remain there for an entire year! We'll be in there with the 1962 Jaguar, the bubble glass helicopter hanging from the roof, and the Italian railway sign which I've been totally obsessed with for years. I'm really just excited. For the first few years whenever I did interviews people would ask me if I considered the things we were making toys or art. I still don't have a decent answer to that question, and frankly could give a shit. I like making beautiful things, and I like the art of selling them. It's all tied together, it's all one thing. Anyway, someone told me that Tristan and I now get free admission to the Museum for life! I hope that's true. We can stop waiting in line for the free-admission nights on Fridays.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1740892760233393740-2140115423014228187?l=blog.paulbudnitz.com'/></div>Paul Budnitzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02536495592224682360noreply@blogger.com7
