Serrano history of sex
Andres Serrano. Uncensored photographs
HOLLYWOOD, CA.- The Erotic Museum presents a one man show of images from the series "A History of Sex" by Andres Serrano. As in previous series by Serrano (Fluids, The Morgue, The Church, or Nomads), the artist is examining the larger issues of life: birth and death, bodily.
Available for sale from Galleria Pack, Andres Serrano, A History of Sex (), C- print on aluminium in artist's frame, × cm.
Description:The large format photographs were commissioned in by the Groninger Museum in the Netherlands and opened to both vehement protest and overwhelming attendance. This series of work, begun in Rome in and completed in Amsterdam in late , explores the diversity of lifestyles and sexual practices of human beings. In A History of Sex, Serrano sets out once again to put an aspect of human nature in stark relief. The works are portraits, with an emphasis on individual character. Many of the titles bear the names of those who posed for the photographs, and in most works the subject or subjects look directly at the camera. This matter-of-fact stance of the subjects may seem in marked contrast to their actions.
