I doubt there were too many people who even knew Godlin existed before this thread let alone the kiddie porn picture.
If it's been able to stay out of the spotlight this long I dont think too many people would miss it. Besides yourself of course.

so, if it's not well-known art the masses like, then it's ok to destroy it? my, how enlightened of you...
this pic, along with a lot of goldin's stuff, has been shown in a lot of museums in different cities and never caused an outrage. just goes to show how mass hysteria and puritanism are back into fashion. not to mention un-ironic calls for burning of art that is deemed 'offensive'... kind of scary if you ask me.
also, nan goldin may not be very famous with the mainstream public but i don't know a single person that's into photography and modern art that doesn't know who she is.
