World's Most Explicit Art Is on Exhibit in London

NPR | By Vicki Barker

Published November 14, 2007 at 4:00 PM EST

A major art exhibition in London at one of the UK's top galleries is not open to anyone younger than 18.

"Seduced," at the Barbican Gallery, is billed as the most sexually explicit fine-art exhibition ever staged. It attempts to show 2,500 years of sexuality in world art, and to explore how attitudes about what is erotic art and what is pornography have changed through the ages.
