Andres Serrano | Infamous Beauty
DOX Centre for Contemporary Art
Andres Serrano is an American artist born in 1950 in New York, where he lives until today. The exhibition Infamous Beauty consists of two separate parts, which complement each other and are thematically intertwined. In the exhibition hall, under the title Beauty, a collection of more than sixty works are presented, selected from the artist’s long artistic career. However, Andres Serrano’s work is not presented here in closed chronological cycles, but in a dialogue of recent photographs with earlier works from the series Body Fluids (1986–1990), Immersions (1987–1990), Nomads (1990), Morgue (1992), Objects of Desire (1992), America (2001–2004), Holy Works (2011), Torture (2015), Made in China (2017) and Robots (2022). Comparing more recent works with works more than three decades older yields surprising and powerful connections.
