Dear editor

Last week I read your article “Giuliani forced into climb-down”. In my opinion it’s a very interesting topic, because I know the paintings of Chris Ofili and I know how provocative they can be. On the one hand I have been very glad to read that the museum wins the court process because on the other hand it really would be a restriction in freedom of speech. I like it when art shocks like the Virgin Mary adorned with elephant dung, because maybe when people see something like that they start to use their brain and maybe they think of something they have never thought before. In my opinion art should make people thoughtful, like your article. When I read your text I started to think about the mayor, the museum, Chris Ofili and art. I hope that I shortly will find a new article from you.

Yours,
Mattias
