As promised, I forwarded your question to the two SIGGRAPH '90 committee 
members involved, and both responded.  (BTW, I am not a member of the
SIGGRAPH '90 committee; I'm just acting as go-between here).

Diana Tuggle, the slide sets chair, reports:

The cyan penis was not submitted for selection to the 3-d slide set.
Tom will be able to tell you why it wasn't in the art set.

Brian, Thanks for forwarding the message to me.  If you wouldn't mind
forwarding the following message, would appreciate it.

I too would have liked to have presented the "Maplethorpe, the 90's"
piece in its totality (as exhibited in the SIGGRAPH'90 Art Show) in
the art show slide set.  The slide sets are limited to 78 slides.
There were more than 90 pieces in the art show.  I selected several
slides from the "Art (n) Maplethorpe " piece but had to exclude some.
The piece itself was not fully completed until a month before the show.
The slide sets are duplicated in early May.  I would have prefered to
have both the catalog and the slide set present the artwork as it was
shown to the SIGGRAPH community.  Such slides were not availble prior
to the completion of the piece.  If they had been, I would have included
them.  Thanks for your interest.
