Display Art reminding America of the wrongs it does and it beats you up.

Lori Haigh, a North Beach district gallery owner, bears a painful reminder of the nation’s unresolved anguish over the incidents at Abu Ghraib — a black eye delivered by an unknown assailant who apparently objected to the painting that depicts U.S. soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners. Associated Press photo by Jeff Chiu.

The painting is in the background of the photo. It’s a great photo. There are others too at the above link. The woman has closed the gallery because she fears for her well-being.
