The exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery, "Ballyhoo! Portraits of Portraiture," will close this Sunday. If you haven't seen it yet, hurry up! The exhibit features 60 posters ranging from show posters, to wartime propaganda to famed film posters. Includes: "Folies-Bergère La Loïe Fuller" and "Dylan" by Milton Glaser, 1966 (pictured above)

I saw the Ballyhoo! exhibit in December and also the spectacular:
"One Life: The Mask of Lincoln"
This exhibit will run through July 5th 2009 and commemorates the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth with an extensive collection of Lincoln portraits, "a collection that charts Lincoln's passage from a fresh-faced Illinois congressman to his grizzled isolation as president."
