Indecent Exhibition Of Pictures
(N.Z.P. A.-Reuter—Con right)
LONDON, November 28.
A Mayfair art gallery director was fined £2O and costs today for showing an indecent exhibition of pictures.
Police told the Court that Robert Fraser, of the Robert Fraser Gallery, had exhibited drawings by the American pop artist, Jim Dine. A detective sergeant told the Court that one of the drawings was marked with an obscene word.
Fraser, when asked if the pictures were for sale, had replied: “Of course they are.”
He claimed: “A Jesuit priest says they are all right They are certainly not a matter for you, or for that matter, for the director of public prosecutions.”
