Art Fair Season Help for Hanging Works Salon Style from Big Johann K. Petursson



With art fair season coming up, I have found the solution for your hanging needs.  Just watch Johann K. Petursson, a man I was ready to call "The Giant Abe Lincoln of Iceland" after finding this postcard until I looked him up.  A wonderful "little" vignette here of the big man hanging modern art.

You never know what a postcard find will lead to.  Jóhann Kristinn Pétursson, also known as The Viking Giant, Johann the Giant (Jóhann Risi) and Jóhann Svarfdælingur (February 9, 1913 – November 26, 1984)  At peak, he  was 7 ft 8 in and weighed over 350 pounds.
