HENI to Publish First Major Book on Nicola Green's Obama Campaign Print Series
This October, HENI will unveil a new book centered around Nicola Green's print series "In Seven Days…", which chronicles Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign. This work represents the first comprehensive analysis of the entire series, featuring archival sketches, drawings, and previously unpublished photographs captured by Green during the campaign. From 2008 to 2009, Green, a social historian and artist from the U.K., was granted exceptional access to Obama's campaign, election, and inauguration. She participated as a special guest on six occasions, covering events such as the Democratic National Convention in Denver and election night in Chicago. The series resulted in seven silkscreen prints, starting with Day 1. HENI will publish the book in October.
