Description

“This old woman is bound and gagged and can no longer draw. All her principles have been X-ed out. I can guarantee you she feels like a zilch. In the background, from top left, counter-clockwise: Interstate 70 billboard art, by Tillie Woodward, of a Nazi soldier hanging two Russian resistance fighters which was censored and plastered over June 5th, 1985; The Goddess of Liberty falling broken in China’s Tienamen Square; a pile of the old woman’s drawings torn up and censored; quotation, “The first exception (to the First Amendment) will not be the last” – Ira Glaser; sheaf of CLASSIFIED papers, beginning and ending with LIED.”
