Andres Serrano collaborated with Supreme on a 2017 collection featuring imagery from his controversial work Piss Christ.
Serrano is an American artist known for large-format photographs that examine religion, bodily fluids, and public controversy. Piss Christ, created in 1987, depicts a crucifix submerged in the artist’s urine and became one of the most debated works in late-20th-century American art.
Supreme adapted Serrano’s imagery for clothing and accessories, placing fine-art photographs into the brand’s highly visible streetwear format. The partnership stood apart from Supreme’s more typical collaborations with clothing, footwear, and consumer-product companies.
The artist is sometimes confused with Jeff Koons or Damien Hirst, but neither created Piss Christ. Serrano’s name is the specific answer because the work is directly associated with him.
