Enrique Chagoya “The Misadventures of Romantic Cannibals" / crowbar

(In 2010, a woman named Kathleen Folden destroyed this lithograph while it was on view at Denver’s Loveland Museum. While Chagoya’s work consisted of 12 connected panels, Folden had apparently been offended by one in particular, which depicted Jesus Christ with a woman’s body, reclining while a man buried his face near the crotch. Folden was arrested and charged; the work was destroyed and removed from the exhibition.)
