You may have heard of him. He's basically the Kathy Griffin of the 80s art world, and he was Jesse Helms' favorite target (next to Mapplethorpe) in his decades-old attacks on the NEA. Serrano's intentionally controversial work "Piss Christ," which is a photograph of a crucifix submerged in urine, pretty much sums up why the Blue States and the Red States are never going to understand each other. But he hasn't gone away, gentlemen and ladyboys! No, Mr. Serrano has a new show opening in New York in September titled "Shit." And yes, it features photographs of shit. While the photo at left ("Bullshit") is almost, like, pretty with those background colors-and that may be his point-we still say Serrano is more concerned with PR than he is with art, but whatever.
Added bonus: a Serrano photo of a young boy about to be sucked off by a granny (NSFW).
