However a private gallery has decided to show the piece instead: http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/artsdesk/general/2010/12/01/transformer-steps-up/
Also, the artist, David Wojnarowicz, was censored on WORLD AIDS DAY, when he himself died of AIDS in 1992. Read more about that here.
Dialogue, please.
