The Smithsonian Insitute is interested in acquiring Shepard Fairey's iconic portrait of the now-president elect Barack Obama. The painting would enter the collection of its National Portrait Gallery as the first official fine art rendering of the future president.
In addition to the painting, Fairey also produced a series of Obama posters through OBEY that sold out with the quickness. Check the video below to hear Shep himself talk a bit about the posters.
