The controversial “Piss Christ” artwork Sen. Alfonse D’Amato once branded as a “deplorable, despicable display of vulgarity,” is coming to New York, and security is being heavily ramped- up at the gallery that will show the piece. Andres Serrano’s work — a “photograph of the crucifix submerged in the artist’s urine” — first ignited controversy in 1989 when D’Amato complained to the US Senate that it was an “outrage,” an “indignity” and a “piece of trash” that had been funded by taxpayers. Serrano had won a $15,000 prize for his work, backed in part by the National Endowment for the Arts But the piece — which will be on display as part of a retrospective of the New York artist’s work at Edward Tyler Nahem gallery beginning Thursday — is still causing controversy over two decades later.

>>”Too bad, then nobody will get to view my latest art, “Feces Mohammed”
How the heck am I supposed to tell the difference?
I suppose there will be labels and markings?
This could get totally confusing!<<
Ha! Too funny ~ but it’s a simple ‘sculpture’ painstakingly crafted from fetid camel dung and the blood of virgins...
Yes, I understand that hog-squeeze is easier to work into shape, and more readily available.
New York City is so hip. What can I say?
I wonder when this “exhibit” was arranged...
I think Bath-House Barry is STILL trying to get his riots going. Won’t work, Barry.
How much could I get from the NEA for a Piss Quran....a jar with a Quran inside filled to the brim with pig piss?
If this artist wasn’t such a p*u*s*s*y, he’d make a piss Mohammed exhibit
Everybody Piss Mohammed Day
“If this artist wasn’t such a p*u*s*s*y, he’d make a piss Mohammed exhibit”
He is a coward, much like those who arm their children with explosives and send them into crowds.
It sounds beautiful, maybe with just a touch of FM floating on the top, and perhaps garnish with a small wad of TP for ambiance.
I would just bypass the snotty arts and croissant crowd, and post it directly on the internet so millions can view it.
Wow. One would’ve thought that the piss would have evaporated by now.
I just knew P*** Christ was back on display. Christian in America and Europe are burning down cities and killing Muslims left and right.
/s
I can see a t-shirt. FAGS SUCK!
Will Obama apologize for the offense of “piss Christ”? Nah...he’d prefer to see “piss Constitution”...but nah, no apologies.
Verbal disagreement = burning down embassies and killing ambassadors.
I’m sure that’ll be the parallel that’s drawn.
Lead them to repentance, Lord Jesus. Amen.
/sarcasm
I am glad somebody brought that "Art" back to the limelight. I remember when it came out. Christians all over the place, we were bitching and complaining. But to my knowledge there is no death threat to the "Artist" and nothing got burned down.
Now....it is said that people in HIGH places monitor Freep. I have a sugestion.... If somebody on the right has to go against a member of C.A.I.R or some other Islamic apologist. Get your hands on a copy of your typical Islamic school book and get to the part about Gays and Jews. Glen Beck's Web site has mention of it.
SAUDI ARABIAN ‘JIHADIST’ SCHOOL TEXT BOOKS REPORTEDLY CALL FOR THE ANNIHILATION OF JEWS & GAYS
And throw their twisted logic back in their faces.
whose embassy? i don’t think we have an embassy in nyc..
Condoms on the White House Christmas tree— for real. What a disgusting waste of cells this harridan is. More power to Michele Bachman and pursuing the Huma Abedin/Muslim Brotherhood connection— inasmuch as she and Hills are “ a couple”, and Huma’ husband is... a Weiner.
Truly disgusting all the way around.
