Serrano, Andrés

Of Honduran and Afro-Cuban descent, he studied from 1967 to 1969 at the Brooklyn Museum, and lives and works in New York. His work has been exhibited in diverse and prestigious venues such as the Cathedral of Saint John in New York, the Barbican Arts Centre in London, and the Collection Lambert Avignon. He has addressed a wide range of themes including portraits of Ku Klux Klan members, photographs of corpses, and images of burned victims. Many of Serrano's photographs contain bodily fluids, such as blood (sometimes menstrual), semen (for example, "Blood and Semen II" (1990)), or breast milk. Within this series, there are numerous works of objects submerged in these fluids.
