Warhol Foundation May Drop Smithsonian
The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts will end its financial support of Smithsonian exhibitions unless the museum restores the David Wojnarowicz video it removed from a gay-themed exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.

In response to pressure from the Catholic League and House Republicans, the museum removed the “A Fire in My Belly” video from the exhibition, called Hide/Seek. The video, made in response to the AIDS crisis, features a scene with ants crawling across a crucifix
