Every president of the United States selects art for the White House. As our 44th president, Barak Obama and his family proceeded to select art – borrowed from three museums in Washington: the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden and the National Gallery of Art – for the family quarters, east wings, and west wings of the White House.
Below are works I could find of Obama’s personal and White House collections.
Glenn Ligon “Black Like Me No2” 1992
Ed Ruscha “I think I’ll…” 1983
Alma Thomas “Watusi Hard Edge” 1963
Richard Diebenkorn “Berkeley No52” 1955
Josef Albers “Homage to the Square Midday” 1954-57
William H Johnson “Folk Family” 1944
Henry Williams “Model for Steamboat Paddle Wheel” 1877
George Catlin, “Catlin and Indian Attacking Buffalo” (1861-69)
Winslow Homer “Sunset” 1875
Josef Albers
Norman Rockwell “The Problem We All Live With” 1964
