“In Heaven and Hell, Andres Serrano challenges
the benevolence of the Catholic Church while also
taking on the sexualization of violence against
women. The work was made in collaboration with
political artist Leon Golub, who appears in the
photograph wearing the red robes of a Cardinal,
subtly smiling as he looks away from the blood-
splattered nude who is bound and suspended next
to him.
Serrano said of the work, “I’m referring to the
relationship the Church has with women, whether they are aware of women as human beings or just take
them for granted and dismiss them.” – Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Auction Catalog – March 9th, 2011
