Descrição: Hollein shares his message as director of The Metropolitan Museum of Art regarding the Bacchante and Infant Faun sculpture by Frederick William MacMonnies. In just three years, between 1893 and 1896, MacMonnies's Bacchante and Infant Faun evolved from a clay sketch in the artist's Paris France studio to the most controversial sculpture in the US. In 1897, The Met knowingly accepted the gift of this much-debated bronze female nude, not to mention the prospect of ensuing protests and deliberation. He also extends his gratitude towards Thayer Tolles, Marica F. Vilcek Curator of American Paintings and Sculpture, for her wide-ranging assessment of the Bacchante and Infant Faun at a moment when museums are particularly attuned to the collective right to protest and be heard.
