Hello collectors. You're probably going to want to bookmark this link, and set your iCal to remind you to place a bid (or two or three) to Art For Obama on October 1st. A long list of A-list photographers have joined together to hold an auction to raise funds for Barack Obama with the help of these friendly folks. 20x200 and Jen Bekman Gallery's Nina Berman has a print up for auction, as does Alec Soth, Uta Barth, Larry Sultan, Tierney Gearon, and other equally distinguished names.

Be sure to be free at 5pm on Wednesday, October 1st; buying art in the name of Obama = genius.
