Censorship

Rubin Hirschbeck, POLKA,186X180 cm, oil - cotton, 2008

Rubin Hirschbeck, NACH DER VERLORENEN ZEIT / after the lost time, 180X150cm, oil- cotton, 2008

Another case of Art Censorship and Prohibition has occured in Germany. The Artist Rubin Hirschbeck was not allowed to show some of his works in his current exhibition in Fürth, near Nürnberg. The two works above are among the banned artworks. What a shame in the 21st Century!

Philip Kwame Apagya

Philip Kwame Apagya"White house" (1998)
Chromogenic photograph 94 1/2 X 106 1/4 inches
240 X 270 cm

In 2009 Apagya´s "White House" Photography from 1998 gets a new meaning.

(Unfortunately I haven´t found a larger image.)

The Artist was born in 1958, in Sekondi, Ghana.

After working in his father's photography studio, Apagya received a degree in Photojournalism and opened his own studio, P.K.'s Normal Photo Studio. His portraits of Africans are made in front of painted backgrounds displaying highly commercial and Western scenes.
