No indeed; the longtime New Yorker Profile artist is being Volterraized. In Utah, some people (at the Brigham Young University Museum of Art) just don’t like nudes:

Silverman, who chuckled about the religious university eliminating his nudes from the show, said he began doing nudes by visiting burlesque houses.

“Nudity in public life is relevant,” he told the Deseret Morning News.

BYU officials take exception to that view, maintaining that nude illustrations are irrelevant to the exhibition that will open July 29.

Update: Another local profile of Silverman. Nudes not included.
