| Art museum commissions mural, then whitewashes over it when they dislike the artist's politics. |
|
The mural was on an exterior wall. The artist painted coffins draped with dollar bills (instead of American Flags) and it was immediately deleted by the museum. http://www.ladowntownnews.com/articles/2010/12/09/news/doc4d0149944bb44769770853.txt |

| 1. Reminds me of Diego Rivera and his commissioned Rockefeller Center mural. |
|
As both sides could not reach an agreement, he was ordered to stop and the painting was covered and destroyed in February of 1934. http://www.diego-rivera.org/rockefellercontroversy.html |
