I am an undergraduate doing a research paper on the benefits
of publicity surrounding controversial artwork.
        The Phoenix Art Museum re: The Flag Exhibit has statistics concerning
increased attendance, increased on-site donations and overall public
support for them not submitting to political pressure and closing down
the exhibit.
        I am interested in information from other institutions showing the
public's support of controversial or politicized artwork.
        Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Samantha Gordon
