1. Art and Controversy
Aside from central questions such as “what is art?” and “What is good art?” There are times when art becomes controversial. A few examples might be:
● Censorship
Images or language depicting explicit sex or violence are the most obvious areas of controversy. Some religious people might be deeply offended by irreverent depictions of religious figures
● Ownership
Rights to music, texts or images.
●The materials used.
For example Gunter von Hagen’s exhibits consist of plastinated corpses, including one corpse of a pregnant woman with her belly opened to reveal an unborn child within.

3. ● How a piece is created
Jill Greenberg gave lollipops to small children then took them away.
When they cried, she photographed them. She maintains that the
pictures are “a metaphorical comment on the Bush administration”
(The Sunday Times Magazine, August 2006)
