Corrections: Aug. 17, 2025
An article this weekend on Page 120 about censorship of creative works contains several errors. It refers incorrectly to the artist Dread Scott's 1989 installation 'What Is the Proper Way to Display a U.S. Flag?' The exhibit offered visitors the choice of stepping on a flag while answering that question in a guest book; it did not require them to step on the flag. The article misstates the number of photographs of soldiers' coffins draped with American flags in the installation. There was one such image, not multiple images. The article also misstates the artist Andres Serrano's number of solo exhibitions in his career. He's had about 20 solo museum exhibitions in Europe and abroad, and many fewer in the United States — not about 20 solo in Europe and only one in the United States. And because of a production error, the article misquotes John Waters on what a Maryland film censor said to him about his 1974 feature 'Female Trouble.' Waters said she told him, 'You can't have that cunnilingus scene,' not 'You can have that cunnilingus scene.' A picture caption with an article this weekend on Page 140 about the artist Robert Longo, relying on information from a publicist, misstates the materials used in one of his works. It is a charcoal drawing of a pit of snakes, not an ink-and-charcoal drawing. Errors are corrected during the press run whenever possible, so some errors noted here may not have appeared in all editions.
