12 "And we pray that you sinners out there will see the light," May 3, 1987
Some televangelists exploited those who could least afford to give. Several of these preachers, who preyed on the guilt of their listeners, were revealed as imperfect role models. In April 1987, the Reverend Jim Bakker's television empire, Praise the Lord (PTL), crashed when Bakker's sexual misconduct was revealed and federal and state officials began investigating PTL's funding practices.

13 Robert Mapplethorpe’s photographs collection
Mapplethorpe's work was regularly displayed at publicly funded exhibitions. Conservative and religious organizations, such as the American Family Association opposed supporting his kind of art, and he became something of a cause celebre for both sides in the National Endowment for the Arts funding debate. His The Perfect Moment exhibit in 1990 which included seven sadomasochistic portraits in Cincinnati resulted in the unsuccessful prosecution of the Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center and its director Dennis Barrie on charges of "pandering obscenity".

14 Chris Ofili, Holy Virgin Mary, 1996 (dung-covered madonna)
"Much of the art that is widely cherished now was received with revulsion and horror in its own time. The Brooklyn Museum itself has documented the historical process through which art that shocks or offends when it is new becomes accepted and valued [These] include paintings by Matisse, Braque and Picasso that children were prohibited from seeing when they came to New York to be displayed in the Armory Show of The New York Times concluded in 1913 that '[t]he Armory Show is pathological.'" From the transcripts of the court trial of The City of New York and Mayor Rudolph Giulianni against the Brooklyn Museum of Art for mounting the "Sensation" show. Chris Ofili's Holy Virgin Mary (left) was deemed sacriligious by Giulianni after a number of religious groups protested the work. A court trial ensued, which incited anti-censorship groups and art advocates to speak out against the mayor's actions. The Museum won the case, but Ofili's work again came under attack when a man smuggled paint inside the Brooklyn exhibition and attempted to smear it on the Virgin.
