A Manhattan art gallery has cancelled its Easter-season exhibit of a life-size chocolate sculpture of a naked Jesus after an outcry by Catholics.
The gallery's artistic director has tendered his resignation to protest the cancellation.
International artist Cosimo Cavallaro's sculpture, My Sweet Lord, was to be exhibited for two hours each day next week in a street-level window of the Roger Smith Lab Gallery in Midtown Manhattan.
The 300,000-strong Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights had written to 500 religious and secular organisations, calling for a boycott of the affiliated Roger Smith Hotel.
