An art gallery was forced to remove
'absolutely disgusting and obscene' Victorian art from an exhibition
after receiving a spate of complaints.
The
six photographs, depicting nude and partially clothed women, are
thought to date from the mid 19th Century and formed part of the
'Romance' exhibition running to coincide with Valentine's Day at The
Cube Gallery in the South Downs Heritage Centre in Hassocks, West
Sussex.
But the photos were spotted by
three women, aged between 60 and 80, who were outraged by the works -
and demanded they be taken down.
Among
the black-and-white photographs is a picture of three naked ladies
holding hands and dancing, another photo shows a lady wearing stockings
and facing away from the camera with a bare bottom while a third shows a
naked woman sitting on a plinth.
