abortion nonprofit claims artwork in malta biennale was censored 1234777129

The second edition of the Malta Biennale is facing accusations of censorship from the abortion rights nonprofit Women on Waves. The organization claims that organizers first demanded the removal of the word "pills" from a banner reading "Need Abortion Pills?" before ultimately attempting to dismantle the installation entirely, citing a failure to meet "aesthetic quality standards." While the Biennale's communications director maintains the work remains in place and frames the dispute as a matter of "curatorial direction," activists provided video evidence of an attempted removal and argue the intervention is a suppression of critical health information.

By late 2025, signs of recovery emerged—successful fall auction weeks in New York and a stronger-than-expected Art Basel Miami Beach—and both Christie’s and Sotheby’s reported upticks in projected revenue for the year.
