Today we talked about the Piss Christ piece. I personally didnt really find that piece offensive, and I am a Christian. I guess I am just too open minded- I mean I talk about everything with anyone- But 15,000 for this I mean yes the photography is very aesthetically pleasing, but I think that the reason that people sometimes pay so much money for art is becuase it is so controversial. I mean picture it you have the Piss Christ piece in your living room- everyone knows about it- and will be very impressed that you own such a famous piece of art- just like the starving dog artist. The reason he did that was because he wanted people to make a big deal out of it. I think that Andres Serrano wanted the same thing- hey it worked right?
