mg.co.za — The Goodman Gallery has appealed a ruling that children should be protected from the 'Spear' painting, saying the FPB does not have the authority. The Film and Publications Board (FPB) erred in assuming it had the authority to age-rate a work of art, the Goodman Gallery said on Tuesday, and also in classifying The Spear as unsuitable for people younger than 16 on the grounds of nudity.
