Dorota Nieznalska

Dorota Alicja Nieznalska (born 19 September 1973) is a Polish visual artist and sculptor.

Nieznalska's controversial installation ''Pasja'' (2002), which included the placement of an image of the penis upon a metal Greek cross, resulted in a notable scandal, as the display was condemned as immoral and blasphemous by Polish conservative Catholics. The group exhibition at which the installation was presented was closed down by the authorities, while Nieznalska herself faced legal charges on account of an alleged violation of a provision of the Polish criminal code prohibiting blasphemy.

The sculptor was successful in fighting off the blasphemy conviction following the favorable ruling of an appeals court in 2009. Provided by Wikipedia
