FWIW, the gallery defended the works and refused to remove them. I actually think this "compromise" is a brilliant move on the artist's part — censorship only really works when the redaction itself is concealed.

No. All fascistic movements begin by demanding small obediences. And concession by concession, they encroach. Just as with a sociopath. The reaction against the encroachment must be extreme and clear. Cowardice teaches cowardice and begets further cowardice.
Nobody demanded the art be covered, and they'd be very foolish if they did. They demanded it be removed. The artist: "It seemed a respectful solution that enables a debate about freedom of expression versus the perceived right not to be offended." Indeed.https://twitter.com/Neil_Heslop/status/1126211583552606208 …
