There are a lot of home buyers with young children. Would you want your kids to see adult art when looking at homes? There are a lot of home buyers (with or without children) who would be offended or embarrassed by adult art. Please be considerate when selling.

In this painting, (I can’t think what to write; I’m speechless). From a Camden, New Jersey home. Click on the photo to expand (if you are at least 18 years old).
More adult art in a Phoenix home. I had to block out two areolae. Not sure if I should have blocked out the painting on the right too. Can you imagine? “Mommy, what’s that?” Click on photo to expand (if you are at least 18 years old).
Painting with three naked women plus a naked angel statue. From Laveen, Arizona.
Naked woman statue in a Glendale, Arizona bathroom. Amateur sculptor. Look how freakishly long her left leg is!

Oh My God!!! The first two are unbelievable. Why didn’t the listing agent catch this? Number 3, the statue isn’t naked, but why is she on the table instead of the grave? These were made as tombstones unless she is a light weight copy. Number four looks like a piece of driftwood and a good imagination.
All of these need to be replaced with better photos showing the rooms, not the ?art?.

Fortunately, that picture on the right of the nipple ones you blocked out is abstract enough that it gives me a snigger, but a kid wouldn’t be asking any questions. I don’t mind the naked statues - the Art Deco era was full of ‘em - but that first one? I’d be replacing it with a lovely Van Gogh print if I was selling.

Wow to that first one! LOL

I think the three naked women one is supposed to be The Three Graces. Definitely not the Rubens one, but a bad take off on the Raffaelo. Oh, cannot believe I typed that.
That funny-legged one I recognize from a mail order catalog I get. The catalog name suggests class; the illustrations suggest airsick bags.

It is unbelievable how much ugly, tacky and downright obscene stuff people keep in their homes. You would think they would have enough sense to pack it away before putting their house on the market!

That first one is klassy!

In the dining room, really? The first one is…what can even be said. Tacky, at best, but then to leave it up when selling…just nasty!

I guess my Georgia O’Keefe canvases need to go as well.

I’m okay with The Three Graces and Angel, although it wouldn’t have taken a rocket scientist to change position of the photograph and you wouldn’t see them at all. Yes, you should have blocked the 2nd one. Not sure the painting was meant as such when it was done but it is judged by the company it keeps.

The Three Graces are real art, not porn, but they should have been packed away before listing the house. If they weren’t selling, it’s one thing, but personal taste needs to be concealed when trying to appeal to a wide cross section of people.
