Today the New Museum will unveil a painting "in tribute to incoming First Lady Michelle Obama." The portrait, titled "Michelle and Sasha Obama Listening to Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention August 2008," will be a new component to the exhibition Live Forever: Elizabeth Peyton. Stop by the 4th floor to see it for yourself!

but wait a minute! people of color don't exist in Currin's world, shucky darn
Totally nailed the look of righteous indignation.
how political of them to do it now, instead of proudly showing their support beforehand. if obama lost, would it have been sent back to peyton? phonies!!!!!
Why do they look so sad???
Just because it's timely, doesn't make it good.
I think it's a beautiful portrait. I love how it captures Michelle trying to look interested while watching her husband speak for the umpteenth time as Sasha is trying not to fall asleep. Nice brush work!
brahbrahbrahcynicism
i want to see all of you paint :p
michelle will cut a foreign envoy bitch!
HA, I think it captures her general pissed off nature. get over yourself honey, even if you are now first lady...
wow, a nice flatter piece of art of Miss Obama.
When will the neo-lib artists and photographers start churning out the ugly hateful pieces? What will they do without an outlet for their anger?
Now that their cult leader is in they can't be the counter culture assholes they love to be! LOL
Laura is nice, but the country almost tanked.
Frightfully Similar??
