Art gallery investigated by police over pornographic' painting
Briefly

"Despite the police visit, the art, which was part of an exhibition running from September 16 to 22, was kept on display by gallery curator Val Harris and artist Poppy Baynham, 22. They subsequently took action to open up a conversation based on the work, adding a sign in front of the painting that said the gallery is willing to have dialogue on the issue."
"Ms Baynham said she believes that the painting was doing exactly what she intended it to, but admits that she had no idea the exhibition of her work would be so controversial. . . . We had made a book for people to comment in about the painting."
