I always thought it deserved a better spot in MoMA. For years it was (maybe still is?) in a small hall right next to the stairs.

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.

Yea, it was in a hall leading to the washrooms when I visited. It stuck in my memory, along with Yoko Ono.
