Jesse Amado's wall piece «PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BABY PLEASE DO N'T GO I LOVE YOU SO» (2004) packs sideways the

of 2017: Hannah Black, the black Berlin - based artist who penned an open
letter to the Whitney demanding the removal and destruction
of the infamous
painting, and Christopher Y. Lew and Mia Locks, the Whitney Biennial curators who included the
