Description of Artwork: A Bunch of Weasels was a caricature of a local official surrounded by stuffed weasels. A collage entitled Thanks, Leon was also challenged in the same exhibition.
The Incident: The Santa Cruz Arts Commission invited Duffy to exhibit his works for three months in a government center. While Duffy was installing the five pieces that he chose, he was asked to remove the two considered more political than those in his original proposal.
Results of Incident: A Bunch of Weasels and Thanks, Leon were not included in the exhibit, though the remainder of Duffy's works were allowed to stay.
