ART

Nudes Take Cover: Three foot-tall sculptures of nude women on display at Dallas city hall are being covered with fake fig leaves because a bureaucrat thought they were shocking. Lubbock artist Future Akins says the city’s reaction to his work, “Getting Better Ain’t Always Easy,” was “silly and kind of sad . . . I can’t see in my wildest imagination how these pieces would be offensive to anybody.” Yvonne Washington, an official with the city’s Park and Recreation Department, said she received no complaints about the art but “there may be some questions raised” by residents about the figures.
