Art in the House
British Prime Minister, David Cameron, recently visited the White House for his first-ever visit to President Obama. Although they talked about a lot of issues, one of the most interesting things to me was the exchange of art they gave to each other.
Mr. Cameron gave the President a painting by graffiti artist, Ben Eine. The work is called Twenty First Century City. I love the use of space and typography used.
Mr. Obama returned the exchange with a work done by pop artist, Ed Ruscha, called Column with Speed Lines. I couldn't find the piece, but check out his Web site.
I am impressed not only by the choice of art as gifts, but also the infusion of culture in diplomatic relations.

What do you get a person like Obama who has everything. An art piece is an excellent idea.
I saw the site by Ed Ruscha as you have recommend. I like the art with the word RIPE the most, very cool how he did that. :)
