Abstract (en)

Discusses recent examples of art censorship in the United States, especially issues raised by Elizabeth Broun's decision to remove Sol LeWitt's Muybridge I from a recent traveling exhibition on Eadweard Muybridge and contemporary American photography. Also criticizes catalogue essays by the curators of the exhibition, Jock Reynolds and James Sheldon, for failing to address the political, sexual or racial questions which Muybridge's work raises. Expresses concern that in the discourse surrounding the exhibition the feminist anti-censorship position was rarely addressed.
