"Walter Hopps Will Be Here in 20 Minutes"


For Your Art will be distributing these pins in honor of the late Walter Hopps to local Los Angeles bookstores and art venues.

From their website:

"In L.A. on May 3, the anniversary of the 76th birthday of Walter Hopps, the first director of the Pasadena Museum, we began distributing recreations of the original "walter hopps will be here in 20 minutes" button and will continue through March 20, 2010, the anniversary of his passing. The buttons were originally made by employees at the Corcoran Gallery in D.C., where Hopps served as director in the 1970s, prompted by his chronic lateness and near-mythic disappearing acts, which weren't particularly suited to a bureaucratic environment."
