The National Gallery says it won't respond to Pornhub's use of its nude classical artefacts on the X-rated website.
European institutions including the Louvre and Italy's Uffizi Gallery threatened to sue Pornhub for copyright infringement over use of their artworks in Classical Nudes, a new interactive guide to global erotic art.
Pornhub has removed their artworks as a result, but those from the National Gallery remain on the site.
A spokesperson told ArtsProfessional that it has not communicated with Pornhub over its "campaign" so as not to publicise it further.
"We will not be taking any action that directly or indirectly raises awareness of this project."
