The Perfect Moment is the title of a 1990 Robert Mapplethorpe exhibition at the
Cincinnati Arts Center. The exhibition included seven sadomasochistic portraits and Mapplethorpe and Dennis Barrie (the director of the arts center) were charged with "pandering obscenity". The prosecution was unsuccessfull but the case became a cause celebre for both sides in the National Endowment for the Arts funding debate.
