I made a post a while ago about NASA’s Art Program and forgot to mention that they have over 500 pieces in their collection. You can purchase a book, which just came out (October 2008) called NASA Art: 50 Years of Exploration. With a foreword by Michael Collins, the forgotten third astronaut of Apollo 11 (read about him and his journey to the far side of the moon while waiting for Neil and Buzz). Anyway, 65 pieces by artists such as Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Norman Rockwell, Annie Liebowitz, and Nam June Paik will make their way across the country over the next two years making a final stop at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. in 2011. I am so excited to see the collection! I have no idea why I don’t own the book yet. You can view most of the work from NASA’s collection here. (Photo is the front page of the Exhibition Prospectus)
