Louvre Bars ‘Sexually Explicit’ Architectural Sculpture From Tuileries Gardens

“The work by the Dutch art and design collective Atelier Van Lieshout, entitled Domestikator, was due to go on show later this month as part of the Hors les Murs public art programme organised by representatives of the Fiac contemporary art fair (19-22 October).” The director of the Louvre argues that “this work has a brutal aspect; it risks being misunderstood by visitors to the gardens,” and that it would have been near a playground.
