Who chooses the art work or paintings that are to be displayed in the White House?
It looks like the president and the first lady do http://online.wsj.com/…/…453455287432.html Potential additions to the permanent collection must be at least 25 years old, and the White House does not typically accept pieces by living artists for its collection, because inclusion could impact an artist’s market value. As a result, there aren’t many modern art choices in the collection, Mr. Allman says.
