The exhibition two years ago of provocative works by photographers Robert Mapplethorpe and Andres Serrano--shows funded by the National Endowment for the Arts--ignited a raging controversy. Attempts have been made to define limits to what the NEA may fund, as the realities of politics have collided with the dictates of free artistic expression. Now Sullivan examines the issue and argues against the limitation of expression.
