America's Presidents Online Gallery Updated Before Obama Portrait Reveal

IK has completed phase two of the online counterpart of this popular and newly refurbished installation at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery. The site has two main components: the online version of the exhibition itself and a research portal that mines resources from both the National Portrait Gallery and across the entire Smithsonian. The launch of the second phase of the site came shortly before the highly-anticipated unveiling of the official portraits of former president Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama, painted by Kehinde Wiley and Amy Sherald, respectively.
