My favorite author reads The Wall Street Journal, so I don't have to. Today she found this article. It talks about the Obamas and the art they are borrowing to display in the White House:
The Obamas are sending ripples through the art world as they put the call out to museums, galleries and private collectors that they’d like to borrow modern art by African-American, Asian, Hispanic and female artists for the White House. In a sharp departure from the 19th-century still lifes, pastorals and portraits that dominate the White House’s public rooms, they are choosing bold, abstract art works.
