That would seem reasonable from someone who knew only his popular
science works and not his SF.

So what has Lincoln got to do with it?
Yes, and why "hanging?"

Because it is in a museum or gallery and it is a work by Dali employing mosaic techniques. You have to stand back to see Lincoln or use a special lens to view
Lincoln in this work. It is a painting hanging on a wall or a lithograph similarly
mounted.
It may be that the term "cursed" is used because the lithographs are extensively
forged by profiteers.
