Animals in the Arsenal
Published by City of New York, Dept. of Cultural Affairs, [New York], 1981
First Edition
Condition: Very Good +. First Edition, First Printing. 22 unnumbered pages : illustrations ; 28 cm. Staplebound wraps. Book condition: A turned corner, a scuff or two else fine. Essay by Joanne Barkan, and Jon R. Friedman and reproductions of 22 of the pieces featured in exhibition. Exhibition catalog for "City Wildlife Projects Presents: Animals in the Arsenal: March 4 Thru April 28, 1981, the Arsenal Gallery". Included the work of 57 artists, and attracted newspaper attention when Paulette Nenner's ''Crucified Coyote,'' a stuffed dead coyote nailed to a 11-foot-tall wooden cross was ordered removed from the show by Parks Commissioner Gordon Davis. Nenner said she saw the piece as "a reaction to certain Judeo-Christian concepts which inadvertently alienated humanity from animals and the rest of nature when individual worth became a major religious tradition." That explanation didn't win over then New York City Parks Commissioner Gordon Davis, who had the work removed from Animals in the Arsenal within a few hours of its opening.
