Dick Tracy, 5/3/26

There's no such thing as the "J. Duveen Art Gallery" (though Joseph Duveen was a famous early 20th century art dealer), but the fictional building so named in this strip appears to be a Frank Gehry design. I'd like to believe that in the Dick Tracy universe, Gehry worked extensively in Neo-Chicago, taking inspiration from the dramatic and abstract skull shapes of the various members of Tracy's rogues gallery.

Mary Worth, 5/3/26
