Author: SERRANO, Andres
Title: Andres Serrano - Body and Soul. Essays by Bell Hooks, Bruce Ferguson & Amelia Arenas. Edited by Brian Wallis.
Description: New York, Takarajima Books, 1995. 31 x 26 cm. Clothbound with dust jacket. With 68 illustrations in colour. - Andres Serrano's name became a household word on May 18, 1989, when Sen. Alphons D'Amato tore up a picture of the artist's 'Piss Christ' on the floor of the U.S. Senate. That act launched the so-called Culture Wars, a national debate over free expression and federal funding of the arts. But, while Serrano's 'Piss Christ' became widely known, the rest of his photographic work received scant attention. - This monograph reproduces for the first time a comprehensive selection of Serrano's photographs. The 68 images, made between 1983 and the present, document his ongoing thematic investigation of the religious spirit and the material body, and show that 'Piss Christ' was no mere avant-garde stunt. [Flap]. - Dust jacket some light edgewear [no tears] and a little bit sunned, else a good copy
