Andres Serrano is an American photographer known for creating provocative and controversial artwork that shocks the public. Born in 1950 in New York to a Roman Catholic family, he rejected religion at age 13. His photography often depicts graphic or disturbing subjects like death and sexuality in a way that challenges social norms and conventions. Several of his works, like "Piss Christ" which depicted a crucifix submerged in urine, generated public outrage and calls for censorship from politicians. However, Serrano sees himself as defending artistic freedom of expression.
