RANDOMNESS
Recently, the list of art works that the Obama family has borrowed to decorate the White House has become available.

Johnson, mid-century abstracters Mark Rothko and Richard Diebenkorn, and the African American conceptual artist Glenn Ligon. You can read through the full list of Obamas' White House Art Collection here and find most of the the images in the list at the online galleries of the National Gallery of Art and Smithsonian Museum.
