Gohlke's
longstanding fascination with nature's proclivities for growth,
destruction and unexpected change, features 79 photographs—both
black-and-white and color prints—spanning the artist's career from

The story of Barack Obama winning, not because we waited for it,
made it less surprising. I would like to imagine the people responsible
of deciding the format and text to announce this spectacular news
story; the important moments which they lived on the night of this
past November 4th in the newsrooms of their respective newspapers.
We were talking about how to publish this story that has made history,
in which manner to make this announcement; that allows us to see
the light at the end of the turbulent tunnel in which bad decisions
and a few greedy people have put us in, should be made.
Barack Obama is change, he is the hope of millions, it's the announcement
that things will change.
At this moment
we would like to congratulate all who, with their talent
and art have communicated this good news and have participated
in this mosaic that we present in ArtDaily, in which 510
versions of the same theme appear: the arrival of a new
day, the
arrival
of Barack Obama to the White House.
There are 510
newspaper front pages from around the world that we have
gathered here so that our visitors can see the beauty
in the formats. What talent of those who with only one
word, with just the name or a simple phrase, shape their
respective newspapers with
this story that occupied the front page of many dailies
throughout the world.
