“My dad had made that painting in ‘96. I told him, ‘We have to take the painting.’ We had these huge sticks, and when we got to Grant Park, they told us that they weren’t allowing any sticks. We couldn’t take that into the park. So we went back to the car and we were going to leave the painting rolled up in there, but I said, ‘Dad, I really want to take it.’

“We’ve got these pieces of wood hanging out of it, so we broke them, and we were able to get the painting into Grant Park. We had no idea what kind of hoopla this was going to create.”
