Eine in the White House

Posted on July 21st, 2010 | by Pete |

When Samantha Cameron says that Eine is one of her favourite artists I wonder if she’s just a nostalgic was-to-be artist or simply a Champagne socialist . It’s been allover the news lately that since she couldn’t join the PM on his trip to US she bought couple of gifts for the Obamas’ one of which is Ben Eine’s Twenty First Century City canvas going for £2500. It’s been quite funny to see how some media exploited the situation by calling this an ‘eyebrow rising‘ ‘hoodie art‘ gift. Truly shocking.

Oh snap… Looks like the boys over at Graffoto are on point with this one and have a fresh interview with the big man Ben Eine. Peep it HERE. Cheers Nolions.

    Eine told me he gave it to them for free, I think the press came up with the value.
