‘PISS CHRIST’ (1987) by Andres Serrano Resurrected As NFT After 35 Years For Miami Art Week By Christies 3.0 and a/political Nov 30

Florida US, November 28th 2022: Arguably, Andres Serrano’s PISS CHRIST (1987) is the most vandalised artwork in modern history. 

For its 35th anniversary this year, the artwork is to be immortalised on the Ethereum blockchain to guard it from future destruction.  

The original 60×40 inch photograph was produced from a wooden crucifix placed in a tank of the artist’s urine.

The dynamic NFT will transform three times a year to reflect three acts of vandalism inflicted on it.

-The condemnation and destruction of the actual image on the Congressional Floor, Washington, USA, May 18, 1989.

-Physical attack on artwork by two teenagers, one armed with a hammer in Melbourne’s National Gallery of Victoria, Australia, October 12, 1997.

-Physical attack and destruction of Piss Christ with a hammer at The Collection Lambert in Avignon on April 17, 2011.

Born and raised a Roman Catholic, Andres Serrano says “Piss Christ is a reflection of my work, not only as an artist, but as a Christian. I am glad that this artwork is now eternal, taking on a new life in the Metaverse.”
