In London there is an exhibit about "Art & Sex from Antiquity to Now", from Pompei (Campania, Italy) and Wahrol, the Barbican Art Gallery .
The exhibition has been prohibited to the under 18 years old for obvious reasons, the main topic is about the follow question:When it is Art and when Pornography?
The Art show is a collection of more than 2000 years of erotic artistic representation, from The Romans illustations and paintings to today's artists like Wahrol of who there are two films in B&W named "Blowjob" and "Requiem" by KR Buxey..now I will not explaine to you the subjects, all I can say is that the artist (Wahrol) is in front of the camera!
Five years to collect and select all the material doing the best not become a porno exhibit, lots of tickets sold and big success.
