As any fan of Mad Men can tell you, there used to be a lot more cigarette smoking going on, both publicly and privately, back in the day. Today's dearth of smoker-friendly spots results not only from changing awareness, but from concentrated public-health policy decisions on a governmental level—a situation rife with hypocrisy and graft. Sam Saghatelian, the show's curator and a participating artist, puts it this way: "How about taxing the beef industry, whose practices are a top contributor to climate change, not to mention obesity and heart disease?" Until that day, luxuriate in the good old days courtesy of The Pizz, Anthony Ausgang, and more of pop surrealism's most beloved bad boys (and girls).
