John Emerson's sculpture 'Pokey the Bear' was also singled out. The artist was told the sculpture could be shown in the gallery but not in it's entirety. The sculpture is a large steel pink bear that stands on a concrete blue ball and wears a furry strap and harness with a large urethane rainbow dildo. The dildo/strap was not to be included for the show. However, the artist decided to attach the strap four days after the show opened in order to take some photos. At the time, the ranch property was closed to all visitors and only open to staff. The artist then posted pictures of the piece in its entirety on facebook, where other images of his piece were posted, but not in context of the show at the ranch. | John Emerson's sculpture 'Pokey the Bear' was also singled out.
