Regarding the seizure of works of art by Sally Mann on view at The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD) released the following statement:

AAMD believes that freedom of expression is essential to the health and welfare of our communities and our nation. That includes the right of art museums to present works of art that express different points of view, or that may be challenging or uncomfortable for some viewers. While AAMD respects that there can be a wide variety of reactions to Sally Mann's artworks, and respects that some audiences may decide not to view them, it condemns any effort to censor the presentation of these works.
