Andres Serrano (born August 15, 1950) is an American photographer and artist who has become notorious through his photos of corpses and his use of feces and bodily fluids in his work, notably his controversial work "Piss Christ", a red-tinged photograph of a crucifix submerged in a glass container of what was purported to be the artist's own urine.
Serrano was born in New York, NY on August 15, 1950. He is from a half Honduran, half Afro-Cuban background, and was raised a strict Roman Catholic. He studied from 1967 to 1969 at the Brooklyn Museum and Art School, yet is considered to be a self-taught photographer. In December, 1980, he married artist Julie Ault.[1] In a 2012 interview, Serrano references Ault as his "first wife" and Irina Movmyga as his current wife. ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andres_Serrano
