Controversial photos of children by Sally Mann seized from Texas museum, resurfacing a decades old debate

The exterior of the Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas.

Officials have seized multiple photos from a museum in Texas after complaints over the images’ depictions of children, including images by photographer Sally Mann. Earlier this week, a warrant was issued and executed for multiple photographs on display at a group exhibition at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. The images are part of a multi-artist exhibition called Diaries of Home, which features artwork by women and nonbinary artists.

Texas officials called for an investigation into some of the images on display back in December; a warrant was then issued earlier this month. The photographs in question have been removed from the museum as potential evidence, according to local news publication The Dallas Express.
