Shocking Art Pieces
Enough about human growth hormone for sale. Allow me to share something cool (once again) to everyone who visits my blog. I came across this post while looking for weird art collections and may I say they just fall right into that category. I love it! It’s edgy, unique and just totally mind-blowing. If your art can affect people as much as these can, then you’re on the right track.
Liz and Phil Down by the Lake by Greg Taylor
This Australian sculpture featured Elizabeth and Prince Philip sitting in the buff in front of the Canberra Parliament House. It lasted a mere week before an angry protester beheaded Queen Elizabeth. Further vandalism of the sculpture resulted in its removal.
Piss Christ by Andres Serrano
Serrano caused a scandal that was heavily debated on the floor of the United States Senate in 1989. The photograph of a tiny plastic crucifix in a cup of Serrano’s urine sparked much debate surrounding artistic freedom, but won a competition held by the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art.
Love and Redemption by Joel Peter-Witkin
Peter-Witkin’s highly graphic photography features the dismembered arm and head of a human corpse. This piece was created in Mexico, because its production would have been illegal in the United States.
Shark by David Cerny
This work was created as a parody of the equally controversial Damien Hirst piece entitled “The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living.” Cerny’s version depicts a nearly naked Saddam Hussein handcuffed and suspended in a tank of formeldehyde.
