In a Jezebel post yesterday I learned that the archives at NYU have paid for videos by Larry Rivers that include home movies he made of his daughters. That sounds adorable - who doesn't love videos of Christmas morning, right? - but he had his adolescent girls naked on the camera discussing the "very special changes" their bodies were going through. The artist - he did other, more artistic things that weren't this creepy - is dead now, and one of his daughters wants the videos back since she's had to go to years of therapy after all this nonsense. The NYU archives have said no, but apparently they won't let the videos be shown while she's alive.
You can read all the details in the Jezebel post and the NYT stories. Needless to say, the creeping is super, super sketch.
