So many of us grew up with Mattel toys—and now, as adults, that nostalgia is still part of us. Enter Gallery 1988, which holds annual art shows featuring works in all mediums based on Mattel’s most popular brands. Time to bring that childhood back.
The latest show opens this Friday in Los Angeles, but we’ve got a few pieces to preview if you can’t make it. And obviously, the show has a heavy He-Man and Barbie lean, since those are two of Mattel’s most recognizable properties. But they aren’t the only toys that provided artistic inspiration, as you’ll see.
The exhibit opens at 7 p.m. on June 23; Gallery 1988’s address is 7308 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles, California. Click here for more info.
