We’ve had Nunna My Heros: After Barkley Hendricks’ ‘Icon for My Man Superman’, 1969 on view in our permanent collection gallery since January of this year, and the words at the top, “aint nuthin but a sandwich,” have been a mystery to me until this week.

Congratulations to Fahamu Pecou, whose spectacular painting (above), “Nunna My Heros: After Barkley Hendricks’ Icon for My Man Superman 1969,” is being acquired for the Nasher Museum’s permanent collection.
