Fruity nudes cause controversy

Religious groups are calling for an art exhibition showing naked women posing among fruit and vegetables to be banned. Carla Bobadilla's new exhibition is made up of a series of giant posters of nudes, reports Las Ultimas Noticias. Some of the Chilean artist's pictures are very explicit and have prompted religious groups to ask for the exhibition to be closed. But Mrs Bobadilla insists: "My goal was to portray the vision that foreigners have of Chile - that of a country that is economically stable because of its fruit exports." The exhibition is on display at the Bellas Artes Museum in Santiago.
