Was she guilty or not guilty?
Well, if she was violating their rules it could be trespassing. Being naked in NYC is not illegal I think. If the model and photographers were engaged in a business venture without the buildings/museum permit it could be a lawsuit.
Uh... how bout some pics... just to ascertain guilt or not..
Sounds like a grandstanding “artist” to me. Also, I suspect there are fees for photoshoots in the Met, clothed or unclothed, and he probably just didn’t want to pay them.
“It’s a project I’ve been working on for three months now — it’s the idea that nudity isn’t necessarily perverse or sexual,”

Wow.
Aren’t you just the hippest, edgiest, most revolutionary thinker around.
No one said nudity is perverse or sexual ONLY. Only a closed-minded leftist obsessed with sex would think in that manner
But centuries of human history have recognized the wisdom of keeping it private.
As Dave Barry sez: "I'm not making this up".
I noticed at Auburn University that the Art Dept. sure doesn’t pay the nude models very much. A few years ago it was $15 per hour which must translate to 15 per session which doesn’t make it worth going over to the studio.
Guerrilla filming is frowned upon, but you can get away with it if discreet. Nude guerrilla filming is a little over the top and methinks the so called artist wanted the free publicist.
Well, it depends on what she looks like.
If she weighed 300 lbs, she should have been arrested. If she looked like Monica Crowley, probably not.
For every photo shoot he does – and there’s been a few – he always keeps his attorney on speed dial and some extra cash on hand, just in case.
Sounds to me as if he knew this would cause trouble. Just guessing, but part of his schtick seems to be to create *news* for himself.
So would it have been so difficult to call the gallery and get permission? They close a single door for a half-hour or they give you after-hours access and you're done. No, it has to be public...well, even in a place like that, it can be a problem.
The point in this isn't the pix, which, incidentally, are pretty good if a little uninspired. It's pressing the envelope and then acting innocent when you get the reaction you're expecting. The guy had bail money in his pocket, f'Petessake. She's not guilty, he's definitely not innocent.
His work is boring. I have little respect for lazy photographers who think they’re edgy or talented just by photographing nudes.
Why can’t we just stick to something nice/normal/natural like violence or depictions of violence? That’s something we can all agree is worthwhile to look at and depict.
This naked human body thing is just pushing the envelope too far I think. There’s nothing natural about it. This artist is going to injure someone permanently if he isn’t stopped.
Looks like ART to ME!
Aye Matey, and there's the rub! LOL!
