About
Why this artist matters now
Andres Serrano makes large-format photographs that use bodily fluids, human remains, and religious iconography as primary material. His 1987 work Piss Christ, a crucifix submerged in the artist's urine and photographed in amber light, remains one of the most contested images in American art. Serrano has also worked in commercial contexts, producing album artwork for Metallica. His photographs operate in the register of the sacred and the abject simultaneously, forcing a confrontation between aesthetic beauty and transgressive subject matter.
