A collectors item - vintage Barbie
Ever since he was a little boy, Ciccio adored dolls. His fascination with dolls dates to his earliest memories, when he used to sneak into his sisters room to play with her dolls, and often had the house cleaner find him standing with his little feet on a chair, his nose stuck to the vitrine where his mother kept her “untouchable” collection: dolls in national costume, dolls with big puffy cheeks, porcelain dolls from the 1800’s… Cicco started his own collection. Little dolls at first, that Ciccio just thought 'divine'. Well, they weren't really dolls, but actually just a hell of a lot of California Barbie dolls that Ciccio couldn't get enough of (he was horrified in the mid 1990s when Barbie became politically correct. He's all about Blonde's even if it's true that after 32 it's all downhill and plastic surgery -something else he totally agrees with!!! After all he's Sicilian).
IN any case Jacinto at a certain point had enough of the Barbie fetish and decided to 'get serious' and started a contemporary art collection. At first it was all politically correct because as we have already stated everything coming out of the 90s was politically correct and therefore not even worth bothering with, but Jacinto using his instincts was able to wade through the BS and make some killer finds. Finds that no one in the mainstream could dream of because there so mainstream they make the mainstream look mainstream.
