Andres Serrano's Piss Christ attacked


The photograph of a crucifix drawned in piss by New York artist Andres Serrano, has been attacked by Christians extremists. It was displayed in Avignon, in France at the Yvon Lambert art space. 

The attackers broke the glass and slashed the image. Yvon Lambert, who has said to be "persecuted" by extremists who had sent him tens of thousands of complaint emails and bombarded the museum with spam said that "we were back to the Middle Age".

I quite agree with him, just have a look at the comments on my post about Soasig Chamaillard's exhibition in Nantes! It's extreme... no doubt the artwork's value will dramatically increase...
