Uninvited Artist Posts Work at 4 Museums

NEW YORK - Paintings of President Bush and former President Clinton,
accompanied by messages referring to the artist's bodily fluids,
mysteriously appeared last week on the walls of two major city museums
and reportedly at two other museums in Philadelphia and Washington.

Harold Holzer, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, said
Wednesday that a cartoon-type painting of Bush against a background of
shredded dollar bills was found hanging Saturday on the wall near an
exit in the museum's modern art galleries.

"The Metropolitan is a repository for the greatest works of human
creativity over the last 5,000 years," Holzer said. "It is not a
bulletin board. For us, it is clearly an unwelcome demonstration of
self-aggrandizement."
