On December 02, 1994, Studio 2030 and [[Agnes]] were part of a [http://www.robertsherer.com/censored.html censorship] issue with artist, Robert Sherer due to Glenda Hollis, former founder of ''A Baby's Place'' demanding that Sherer's nude male paintings be covered or taken down in conjunction with [[Agnes]] ''Calling All Angel's'' annual benefit of which ''Studio 2030'' was a part.  The interesting part of this situation derived from the fact that [[Agnes]], at the same time had an exhibition of female nudes with no recourse. Hollis lied to [[Louis Hill]] and covered up Sherer's work but due to extenuating circumstances was found to have embezzled funds from her organization, ''A Baby's Place'' which eventually ended with Hollis losing her license to operate the AIDS facility. [[Alan Heldman]], acting on behalf of the galleries, wrote a public statement critical of Hollis' actions that was released to the press. This incident was actually covered by Associated Press in an article that appreared in USA today on December 5, 1994.
