One of the shows we’ve been eagery awaiting here in
New York, is Greg Rivera’s “I Pity The
Dolls!: A Collection of Contemporary and Vintage Mr. T Dolls”. It opens on
June 9th at the Orchard Street Art Gallery in the Lower East Side of
Manhattan.

“I Pity The Doll!” features over 150 handmade vintage Mr.
T Dolls that were all the rage (a la Cabbage Patch Kids) back in the ‘80s. In
addition to Greg’s collection of vintage dolls, the show features dolls designed
by a group of some of our favorite comtemporary artists including Magmo the
Destroyer, MCA of Evil Design, Ssur, 360 Toy Group Freaklub, and the BA Team.
