"Piss Christ" is a controversial artwork created by artist Andres Serrano in 1987. The piece features a photograph of a crucifix submerged in a glass of the artist's urine. It was intended to provoke discussions about faith, art, and the commercialization of religious symbols. The artwork sparked significant debate and backlash, particularly among religious groups who viewed it as blasphemous. It was funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, leading to discussions about government support for controversial art. "Piss Christ" remains a notable example of the intersection between art and societal values.
