Happy New Year to you all - I hope you had a good holiday, wherever you were. I've done a search for any art or art history related stories over Christmas, and it seems the only thing we've missed is a hoo-ha over a giant painting of a penis on a New York apartment block, which appeared on Christmas eve. It has now been painted over, and the artist has had their 15 minutes of fame. CBS's reporting of what it calls a 'massive pink and red male genitalia' is heavily censored, above. If you want to see the painting in all its glory, click here.
