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

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.

I think this may be relevant:
https://www.buscalibre.us/libro-dali/9788477000877/p/55043140
Shows a Spanish book about Dali, with Asimov listed as the author.
Its not in any of the online Asimov bibliographies, but I
wonder if the comment author was referencing it.
