Abstract
"this just in" piece on Margaret Lyons, an artist who had a show exploring the shape of the human spine scheduled to open Nov. 7 at the Clown on Middle Street in Portland. On Nov. 6, she got a call from Holly Ready, the Clown's curator, telling her the owners objected to one piece in the show. Lyons, upset at the censorship, pulled all of her pieces and canceled the show. The objectionable piece was a female figure bending over backwards, which Lyons described as "fallen from grace." The work was entitled "America,"and the owners felt it was too controversial.
