A tack for hanging an article from a wall. The tack includes a plate and a pin. The plate abuts the wall. The pin has a picture-engaging portion extending diagonally upwardly and forwardly from the plate to engage the picture and a wall-engaging portion extending diagonally downwardly and rearwardly from the plate to penetrate the wall when the plate is pressed by a thumb of a user. In one embodiment, the wall-engaging portion of the pin is singular and collinear with the picture-engaging portion of the pin. In another embodiment, the wall-engaging portion of the pin is doubled to form a pair of wall-engaging portions that straddle, and are parallel to, the picture-engaging portion of the pin. In another embodiment, the plate has a lower portion with a pair of axial legs terminating in free ends that are beveled for safety and an upper portion with a pair of axial legs having a pair of spikes, respectively, extending diagonally downwardly and rearwardly therefrom to penetrate the wall when the plate is pressed by the thumb of the user, and which are one piece with, and stamped and bent from, the pair of axial legs of the upper portion of the plate, respectively, and which are parallel to, spaced from, and straddle, the wall-engaging portion of the pin.
