"... and that the crucifixion is a really ugly way to die. And all your fluids come out, your piss, your blood, and even your excrement."
Said Andres Serrano, recently, quoted in a New York Magazine article titled "Medieval in Manhattan Artist Andres Serrano’s ecclesiastical Greenwich Village home is not a museum."
“I realized that the things that made the most sense here were religious in nature.

Serrano was raised Catholic in Williamsburg and became one of the most famous artists in the world during the ’80s “culture wars,” after his 1987 photograph Piss Christ enraged Senator Jesse Helms.
