Summary: Interesting look at the controversial aspects of art
Comment: This is possibly the most interesting and informative book I've come across that discusses the controversies surrounding the funding provided by the NEA for such artists as Mapplethorpe or Serrano. It gives equal information supporting both sides of the debate. I came across this book while writing a term paper on censorship and the arts, and have now added it to my personal bookshelf. If you're interested at all in the arts, this book will be great for you.

Rating: 5
Summary: A comprehensive work
Comment: This book is indespensable for anyone trying to understand both sides of the NEA controversy in 1989-1990. The champions of each side are represented, and given almost equal coverage in the book. These arguments are still being waged, and each side hasn't veered from their earlier positions in this book. As the controversy in the Brooklyn Musuem illustrates, this is a relevant topic today.

Rating: 5
Summary: Comprehensive book
Comment: The person who wrote the above view obviously was either 10 years old or at that reading comprehension level. Perhaps they were expecting something different. It you want a comprehensive, thorough discussion of the events that occured, this is the book for you. Containing congressional letters, reviews, magazine articles, editorials, etc, this volume will lead you to further evaluate and perhaps change your own position on the controversy. A must read for anyone who truly wishes to understand the politics of art and NEA funding.
