West Wall of the Family Dining Room, Obama Administration
This photograph of "Early Bloomer [Anagram (a Pun)]" by Robert Rauschenberg, silverware, and an early New England sideboard once owned by Daniel Webster was taken by Matthew D'Agostino on July 27, 2016. These items were photographed in the Family Dining Room which is located on the State Floor of the White House. During their residence in the Executive Mansion, the Obamas oversaw the 2015 refurbishing of the dining room, incorporating modern art and design into the room. The second piece of modern art is "Resurrection" by Alma Thomas. The wool rug was also adapted from a pictorial weaving called "Black, White, and Gray" by Anni Albers.
