LeWitt Work Pulled: Organizers of an American photography exhibit at the National Museum of American Art in Washington are upset by the museum director’s removal of a work she found to be degrading to women. The work, Sol LeWitt’s “Muybridge I,” which was part of the “Eadweard Muybridge and Contemporary American Photography” exhibit, shows the figure of a female nude that appears to get closer and closer to viewers looking through apertures in a black box. Museum director Elizabeth Broun said the work is reminiscent of a peep show and does not enhance the exhibit, which opened June 28.
