The document discusses the controversy over Chris Ofili's artwork "The Holy Virgin Mary" which was displayed at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. The artwork incorporated elephant dung in its creation, which outraged New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. The summary argues that Giuliani's outrage was misplaced, as other works in the exhibition were more sexually graphic and controversial yet did not receive the same criticism. It suggests Giuliani's reaction targeted the work because it involved a religious subject.
