This photograph of White House curator William G. Allman was taken by Matthew D'Agostino on October 14, 2016. Allman was speaking at a reception celebrating 20th century art in the White House. The event took place in the East Room of the White House and included remarks from First Lady Michelle Obama. The event brought college art history and fine arts students to the Executive Mansion to participate in a workshop with representatives of the White House Historical Association, the White House Office of the Curator, and the Committee for Preservation of the White House. In addition to the reception, a panel was held in the Family Dining Room, a room decorated with 20th century art during the Barack Obama administration.
