Recently acquired a large artist portfolio of David K. Nelson, Jr. which includes the painting on left, who also painted the controversial Mirth and Girth painting. Mirth & Girth is a portrait painting by School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) student David K. Nelson, Jr., depicting the popular late African-American mayor of Chicago Harold Washington wearing only a bra, G-string, garter belt and stockings.[2] After a brief showing at a May 11, 1988 private student exhibition in the Art Institute, angry African-American aldermen, including Ald. Allan Streeter, Ald. Bobby Rush and Ald. Dorothy Tillman, arrived with Chicago Police Department officers and confiscated the painting, triggering a First Amendment and race relations crisis and a civil lawsuit.
