Thinking Big

I really enjoyed some of the pieces in the Thinking Big: Recent Design Acquisitions at the Brooklyn Museum. The last image was not in the exhibit but in the American Wing (if I remember correctly). I'd love to test them out and own them, especially Rocking Beauty. I have a big love for rocking horses. I loved the one I had as a kid. I bought my niece a vintage one and I get on it all the time. It's somehow really relaxing and comforting at the same time.
