By Chris Leadbeater. An Austrian museum has been forced to cover up several large images of nude men after posters used to promote a forthcoming exhibition caused an outcry. But the decision to advertise the show with giant versions of some of the works that will go on display has proved controversial. Covering up: The forthcoming 'Naked Men' exhibition has caused complaints in Vienna.
This striking creation shows three men of different racial backgrounds naked but for blue, red or white socks, and football boots. Placed outside the Leopold Museum, it has been drawing crowds.
Some images will be included in the show, which will run until January Despite the provocative nature of the images, the museum has been surprised by the reaction to the posters. Controversy: Promotional images such as Ilse Haider's nude portrait 'Mr Big' have provoked complaints from Viennese residents - although some locals right seem to be unmoved by the furore. A statement on the museum website explains that the exhibition offers revolutionary perspective on the human body.
