American art from the official residence of Richard C. Holbrooke, the United States representative at the U.N., is currently on public display. “It was made possible by Art in Embassies, a little-known and much beloved State Department program. Started in 1964, the program is based on a simple idea: artists, collectors and museums lend artworks, old and new, to United States embassies and residences as a way of introducing foreign guests to American culture.” – New York Times
