Did the Beanie Baby Founder Destroy a Bauhaus Masterpiece? A monumental sculpture by a legendary artist has mysteriously vanished from a Montecito property acquired by billionaire toymaker Ty Warner.

My friend @andrewhtravers.bsky.social wrote up this intriguing story. The Bauhaus legacy has an important place in #Colorado and #Aspen. Mix that with the toymaker mogul of the 1990s and you've got some good material to work with.
