MINDstyle’s Abarham Obama by Ron English

Ron English’s Abraham Obama monotone painting (reproduction shown below) was  originally commissioned by  William Kerr, owner of Gallery XIV in Boston, for  the  “A Politic” show  and later became a series of  Warholesque rainbow-hued posters.  This subtle yet powerfully thought-provoking image will soon be available as a vinyl bust in several colors.  MINDstyle’s Abraham Obama by Ron English stands 16” tall and was sculpted by the talented Vin Teng. 

The white members only edition is already sold out.  Toy Tokyo’s exclusive black gloss edition will be released later this month.  That will be followed by the green edition which is exclusive to Fresh Manila.   The Abraham Obama bust editions are limited to 50 pieces and each bust retails for $200 each.  Upcoming exclusive editions will be released globally to support world-wide interest in the election and Ron English’s iconic image.

Regardless of your political views, today is an exciting and perhaps pivotal day.  The Abraham Obama figure captures the tremendous energy of Barack Obama’s campaign and the presidential race as a whole while pondering its place in and connections to history.
