1. Thanks this, I love wooden toys and saw some great cir­cus ones on three potato four. They remind me of Garcia’s work. I’m going to read up on this.

3. Repro­duc­tions are avail­able at the Tor­res Gar­cía Museum in Mon­te­v­ideo (http://tienda.torresgarcia.org.uy) with prices rang­ing from $100 to $180. The orig­i­nal toys sur­face from time to time at auc­tions, where they com­mand high prices (as an exam­ple, a small wooden rock­ing horse sold for $12,000 in Feb. 2009).

   Unfor­tu­nately, I don’t have much infor­ma­tion for you. It’s a shame the toys are not more read­ily avail­able, they really are beautiful!
