Monday's "Madonna & Child" by Photographer Andres Serrano
ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By TAHLIB
What better way to kick-off Black History Month than with a black woman breast-feeding a white child? Best known for his work "Piss Christ," Andres Serrano's color saturated prints transcend the label of "shock art" to challenge outdated notions of beauty and taboo by creating images of subjects such as corpses in morgues, Ku Klux Klansmen, and the homeless. His status as a religious provocateur makes his "Woman with Infant" (above) just right as the Madonna & Child for this first Monday in Black History Month. There are only three editions, and for $30,000 it can be in your collection too via ArtSpace.
