This catalogue of the Andres Serrano retrospective presents the
work of an artist from New York regarded as one of the major
figures on the contemporary scene, tracing his creative trajectory
in over a hundred photographs. The question of the portrait in the
exploration of signs of the times, the dead body in a classical
presentation of pictorial inspiration, the abstract space of the
studio and the artist's recent immersion in the city, violence in
the relationship with the other on the path from procreation to
creation, poverty and its relation to place, religious feeling and
the collective dynamics of the group portrait are some of the
subjects Andres Serrano addresses. The questions he poses give rise
to debate and sometimes violence. These freely chosen subjects are
thus joined by themes imposed on the work, namely vandalism and
censorship. Four experts develop an original discourse on Serrano's
work: Nathalie Dietschy, PhD in art history at the University of
Lausanne, a specialist on the figure of Christ in contemporary art;
Jan Koenot, Jesuit, theologian, PhD in philosophy and specialist on
contemporary art; Germano Celant, art critic and specialist on
contemporary art, currently artistic director of the Prada
Foundation in Milan; Quentin Bajac, curator of photography at the
Musée d'Orsay and currently chief curator of photography at the
MoMA in New York.
