Whole Title: 'Get my work off your walls!': Ivanka Trump hit by protest from artists demanding their work be removed from her famous home because they're 'embarrassed' to be associated with her family

A growing group of artists is hitting back against Ivanka Trump, with some even demanding the president-elect's daughter take their work down off her walls.

A collection of New York artists have banded together to protest Donald Trump through his daughter, with a campaign called 'Dear Ivanka'.

The colorful crusade was created by the Halt Action Group, which was founded by curator Alison Gingeras, dealer Bill Powers, Jonathan Horowitz, and a group of others associated with the art scene, Bloomberg reports.

I officially submitted that as a suggestion to the Trump website. I hope it makes it through.

Idiots. If she paid for it, she has the right to display it. Ah, the “tolerant” left.

I would set their ‘work’ at the curb with the trash, and make sure it was seen

She should go with Norman Rockwell works. He wouldn’t complain and that’s real art.

Bet every one of these artists championed ‘bake me a gay wedding cake’ by force. So shortsighted, these liberals.

Hitting back? What, exactly, did she do to them?

You're not supposed to notice that word! It's meant to dissolve in your brain. (The "upper digestive tract" of a standard liberal.)

so many are so brainwashed

Brainwashing usually means that they were not given a choice, but these folks chose to embrace their idea. They are actively promoters, who take pride in being integral part of brainwashing.

Maybe they can offer to buy the work back from the current owner. At the price she sets, of course. Otherwise they can STFU.

I am sure they did not mind taking Trump’s money when he bought them. And I guarantee you that up until last summer, they were telling anyone and everyone that their works were hanging in the Trump Tower—in the residence.

They do have a right to boycott her.

The First Amendment forbids the government from interfering with free speech.

Private parties can do as they please.

For example, on FR, people can’t liberal comments as this is a conservative forum.

Its not considered censorship. And liberals have the freedom not to entertain contrary ideas.

Ivanka should tell them that if they want to control them, she’ll sell them at $5 million each.

There are so many conservative artists out here. And they do REAL art, not that junk hanging on her walls. Anyone could do pieces like she has hanging. You don’t even have to be an artist. I know, ‘cause I am one of those conservative artists. (retired)

I am too - unretired. :) It's the best way of coping with all the bad art in the world.

Return the money they purchased them with.

Someone ought to explain to these cretins what the idea of "selling" entails. Once you exchange "your art" for money, it is no longer yours....it belongs to the provider of the cash.

The only right you as artist retain is the right to have the purchaser not make copies for sale. And you can thank those evil old white guys who wrote the Constitution for the ability to retain that right.

Really!!

The colorful crusade was created by the Halt Action Group....

They can meet my group, the go #### yourself committee.

Lucky anyone buys their garbage.

I KNOW Ivanka is glad her father won, but I don’t think they are idealistically on the same page with more than a few things.

Thank God Trump is Totally his own man.

Don’t worry. There are plenty of artists, liberal and conservative who would love to have their works purchased and shown by people in the first family..

A few weeks ago, one clothing designer refused to create anything for Melania. They were flattering themselves to think they might be asked to do so. Within a day or two, several other designers came forward and said they would be honored to design clothing for the First Lady.

If she bought the “art” the artist no longer has a say in the matter.

But this once again shows the “tolerance” of the TOLERANT LEFT.

None of them seem to have the maturity of a 12 year old boy.
