| Jasper Johns False Start, 1959, Oil on Canvas Collection David Geffen, California |
According to the London Times, President and Mrs. Obama want a Jasper Johns painting in The White House.
Ed Ruscha and Robert Rauschenberg join Jasper Johns on the President's blue-chip art short list, replacing the Western palette favored by President and Mrs. Bush. Blue-Chip Art hasn't been seen in The White House since President & Mrs. Clinton selected a Willem de Kooning Abstract Painting for their private areas.

Borrowing the right Jasper Johns painting in The White House signals President and Mrs. Obama's understanding of the importance of connoisseurship and appreciation of Jasper Johns, one of the most important living contemporary artists.
