Ummm . . . you confronted people with offensive "artwork". If you have a visceral hatred for men, sweetcheeks, maybe you should opt for discussion instead of ceramic schwantzes.

The stolen artwork, which became a hot topic on talk radio, was placed in a corner

Then it wasn't stolen.

This is great.

If they put them back up, then go in a take them down and put them in a box again.

Tell them this is how it will be. Don't destory the lady's valuable property, just take it down, in full view and in full sight of the library staff after infomring them what you are going to do and why.

What, the theft or the 'artwork'? This person is a sick, sick individual. Too bad the peni weren't smashed in a fit of 'performance art.'

This belongs under humor! Such an "art" display is totally ridiculous, and sick. I'm glad it was stolen.

"It makes a joke of the pain and suffering involved in this exhibit."
What about the pain and suffering implied to men -- the fictitious owners of those fictitious penises? Or doesn't that matter, because they're men?

"If you want to attack me or my artwork, then confront me with discussion..." (said the artist).
How about: If the artist wants to attack men or whatever she has against men, then confront them directly with discussion instead of symbolically, sickly, cutting off their penises? (And can you imagine what kind of mentality would sit and make these things??? Hmmm... what a mental image is presenting itself to me...)

Great.

I see more and more of this, just people, quietly, deliberately, taking back the country from liberals and other nihilist-deconstructionist-d*ckweeds.

No jury will convict.

Let's roll!!

O.K.

Your sick, perverted, warped sense of humor is despicable. To hang up penises on a close line and display them before young children takes a sick mind. You obviously are a cock(y) (pun intended) pervert intent on pushing your demented art on others. Well, first of all it is not art...ITS TRASH. Secondly, crawl back into the hole you came from and take the TRASH out with you!

Sincerely go f*ck yourself! You've got plenty to work with.

I wonder if the Boulder library would've permitted the display of a string of ceramic breasts being "hung out to dry."

Methinks not.

A controversial art display featuring 21 brightly colored ceramic penises was stolen Saturday from a domestic violence awareness exhibit at a public library.

Police are questioning the members of the local NOW chapter that met last night in a library room.

"It makes a joke of the pain and suffering involved in this exhibit. If you want to attack me or my artwork, then confront me with discussion," Walker said in a written statement hung in the gallery Saturday.

Yawn! Granola and tofu alert, y'all.

The exhibit, entitled, "Art Triumphs Over Violence," also includes paintings. It is sponsored by the Boulder County Safehouse, which shelters and supports battered women and children.

Odd that a womans victim group would promote this.

theft contradicts the values symbolized by the flag.

More likely the artwork contradicts the values symbolized by the flag. No offense intended to victims of abuse, believe me. I am one myself. But offending anyone in a general sense because they are male or female, any race or religion, etc. only creates more violence and hostility. How much does humanity have to suffer before it realizes this simple truth...then again, I do not think we ever will.
