Blood Cross

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blood Cross is one of American photographer Andres Serrano's early religious-themed postmodernist images, released in 1985, two years before the controversial Piss Christ was debuted. This image depicted a plexiglass cross filled with cow's blood; the cross leaked slightly making it appear as though it was bleeding.[1] It was exhibited along with Milk, Blood as part of Serrano's Fluids series.[2]
