ARTnews has reported that the White House has quietly de-listed a painting by Alma W. Thomas that it chose last month, among some 45 pieces borrowed from several Washington museums, to decorate the private White House residence and the West and East Wings. “Watusi (Hard Edge),” from 1963, didn't work in the first lady's office and was returned to the Hirshhorn Museum. A second Thomas work remains on the list.
