gallery bulletin:

To commemorate U.S. President Barack Obama's 2012 visit to
the Peanut Gallery, the gallery curator is pleased to announce
the unveiling of these two striking statuettes, the creation of
which were personally supervised by the American artist Jeff
Koons.

Obama's visit is considered to have played a crucial role in
his carrying the peanut-rich state of Virginia in that election year.

Other celebrities personally escorted through the Gallery by Mr.
Peanut include the Albanian Minister of Agriculture, Qumal
Karaosmani; Irish musician and venture capitalist, Bono; and
Japanese porn starlet, Riko Tachibana.
