Jasper Johns, John Baldessari Collaborate to Raise Funds for Obama
A group of 13 highly covetable artists including John Baldessari, Frank Gehry, Ed Ruscha, Jasper Johns and Richard Serra have donated print editions of their work to raise funds for Presidential candidate Barack Obama. Los Angeles-based print publisher Gemini G.E.L. commissioned the group of artists to create what they're calling the "Artists for Obama" portfolio, a set of prints in a limited edition of 150 (not including Jasper Johns's iconic Flag, at right). Art lovers looking to acquire the rare set of prints must donate a minimum of $20,000 to the campaign. [via The Los Angeles Times]

What a deal! Art and charity have always been a good sell.

Better to become a socialist party loyalist now than wait till later. It worked for the former soviet Billionaires. Unfortunately, liberal socialism has never worked.

Politics aside, that is an amazing opportunity to get some totally un-gettable artists for an affordable price.
