Controversy has followed Andres Serrano's Piss Christ ever since he plunged a plastic crucifix into a glass of his own urine and photographed it. In a report that may trigger another round of the 1980s culture wars, the New York Post noted that the photograph will feature in an upcoming Andres Serrano retrospective at the Edward Tyler Nahem gallery.
Naturally a Republican congressman, Representative Michael Grimm of New York's 13th congressional district, responded accusing the Obama administration of hypocrisy for apologising for the anti-Islam video that has sparked unrest throughout the region while remaining silent on Serrano's photograph. In a statement he said: "As a Catholic I find Piss Christ to be vulgar and offensive just as many in the Islamic world found 'Innocence of Muslims' to be highly offensive."
