In “Forbidden Culture,” Edward Lucie-Smith surveys a century of art censorship — from the shrouding of Oscar Wilde’s tomb sculpture to Duchamp’s Fountain, Nazi Germany’s “Degenerate Art,” and the 1989 Corcoran Gallery cancellation of Robert Mapplethorpe’s retrospective. The issue’s accompanying “Underexposed” photo feature again reproduces Jack Fritscher’s “Mike Welder,” censored a second time from general publication.
