New York Public Library Exhibit Features Fake Mug Shots of Members of Bush Administration

"This exhibition has no political agenda," the library said in a statement issued Thursday. "The work described in the media has been presented out of context and is not a complete or fair representation of the entire exhibition — which showcases 23 different contemporary printmakers from around the world, featuring a range of subject matters."
The library also said that nothing in the exhibit is reflective of the views of the institution.
"Portions of this exhibition ... should not be viewed as a political statement by the library," it said.
