Artists want complete control over their public exhibitions

A separate group exhibition that included his work was postponed in Arizona amid outrage over a painting by Shepard Fairey that is critical of police. It's the latest of several recent incidents around the U.S. where artists in public spaces have had the rug pulled out from under them because of the content of their work. (Morgan Lee, AP)
