NEW YORK.- A portrait of US President George W. Bush using monkeys to form his image by artist Chris Savido is projected on a billboard with an added "Censored in NY" banner, 22 December, 2004, near the entrance to the Holland Tunnel in New York. "Bush Monkeys", a small acrylic on canvas, was banned from a New York art show last week as managers of the Chelsea Market public space closed down the 60-piece group show after seeing the painting. Anonymous doners had paid for the picture to be posed on a giant digital billboard and the original will be auctioned on eBay, with proceeds donated to parents of US soldiers trying to supply them with body armor in Iraq.
