The 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln will be held on February 12, 2009. There will be a multitude of events to celebrate with many of them being in the fine arts. On February 6, Philadelphia’s Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction opens their tribute show The Great Lincoln. Having partnered with The Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the store invited artists to be inspired by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and submit entries for the show. The winners have produced some remarkable work, including Richard Sajas “Young Lincoln” (Cotton Embroidered on Linen) seen after the jump. All the work will hang until the end of the month. A limited edition print will also be available through the run of the show.
