The unexpected discovery of “New Friend,” in a yoga class in Santa Monica six months ago, stunned scholars. Academics had long thought that production of “New Friend” had ceased by the end of the Collegiate Era.
In fact, the artifact was passed by several times—with a curt nod and the nearly inaudible “hi” reserved for the much more common “Casual Acquaintance”—before being correctly identified. It wasn’t until the instructor unintentionally released intestinal gas while in Savasana, and “New Friend” was the only other person in class who laughed, that the fortunate archeologist realized that she had stumbled across something priceless.
Owing to the delicate nature of “New Friend,” the excavation process was painstaking and required intense finesse. Too much force could break “New Friend” and appear totally desperate; too little risked the loss of the piece entirely to a much cooler friend group with tasteful little arm tattoos and a propensity to do mushrooms in Joshua Tree.
“New Friend” is a treasured addition to the Smithsonian Institution’s storied collection. We highly encourage you to come see “New Friend” soon, before the exhibit moves to Austin at the end of next year.
