Oregon Art Gallery Removes Window Display Of President Trump Being Executed

An art gallery in Oregon removed its new display on the front of its building of President Donald J. Trump being executed.

One Grand Art Gallery in Portland, Oregon put up the display on its front window. The gruesome display depicts the president with a knife to his neck and blood coming out of his neck and nose with the words “F**k Trump.”

The gallery claims they removed the display due to threats.

“[P]eople that are responding, are responding with such anger and violence,” the founder of the gallery told KPTV. “People want the gallery to go up in flames with my family.”

When a picture of the display started circulating on social media, several Twitter users denounced the gallery.

Some users encouraged their followers to contact the gallery to complain.

“The same people offended over a ‘death threat’ are the same people upholding death threats & violence,” the gallery said in a post with the same graphic which has since been deleted.

The reviews for the gallery plummeted to 1.2 stars on Facebook and 1.9 on Google.

It appears this gallery’s most consistent theme is anti-Trump art. On July 13, the same art gallery hosted a “F*** You Mr. President” opening and in November of 2016 the gallery advertised an event for free mimosas and figure drawings with a graphic picture of Trump. This remains the gallery’s pinned tweet:

“It ought to be protected, especially given that it’s political speech,” said Conner Booth, an incoming freshman at Portland State University. “I’m not surprised about all of this because there’s been a growing militant leftist presence in the area, especially since the last election with the rise of Antifa and other groups.”

Booth, however, believes that the display may be inappropriate for families with young children that may walk by it.

This is not the first time violent representations of Trump have been displayed through art. Last year, Kathy Griffin infamously posed for a picture with a decapitated head of Trump, and Snoop Dogg appeared to be shooting a clown dressed as Trump in the head in a music video.

One Grand Art Gallery did not respond to a request for comment.
