Along with other works from an ongoing art exhibition, this poster was selected to publicly promote Austria's presidency of the Council of the European Union.[6] Vienna's Kronen Zeitung newspaper turned this selection into something of a scandal, expressing its outrage over state-funded pornography and its concern for Austria's world image.[4][6][7] Anxious politicians of all parties quickly joined in, resulting in the poster being taken down.[8][9] Since then, the picture – which had already been shown several times without a title in 2005 – has been informally known as the "EU Panties" (German: EU-Unterhose).
