Its sexual nature pushed the museum to pull the piece from the art fair, according to the New York Times.

The collective's founder, Joep van Lieshout, told the NYTthat, "The piece itself, it’s not really very explicit ... It’s a very abstracted shape. There are no genitals. It’s pretty innocent.”
But not innocent enough.
The museum was worried about the 40-foot tall sculpture being located near a children's playground.
Atelier van Lieshout currently has a separate exhibition in Paris called "Furnification." It features several lamps in similar positions as the house sculpture.
