In 1989, Washington’s Corcoran Gallery of Art, pressured by members of their board and the U.S. Senate, reversed their agreement to host the exhibition Robert Mapplethorpe: The Perfect Moment This incident fuelled the so-called culture wars, instigated by Senator Jesse Helms, and led to dramatic funding cuts for the National Endowment for the Arts.
