The Picasso was the site of an August 23 , 1968 press conference in which Yippies Jerry Rubin , Phil Ochs , and others were arrested after nominating a pig — Pigasus — for president of the United States . This event was held just before the opening of the 1968 Democratic National Convention , which became known for its anti-Vietnam war protests
