The Pingo is a uniquely common subject in Frank Romero’s work. It materialized while Romero taught ceramics to children at Plaza de la Raza in East L.A. and at Barnsdall Junior Arts Center in Hollywood. Over time, Romero’s images, such as his “pingos ” decorated with flaming hearts, chairs, and cars, have become personal icons and symbols.
