Supreme teams up with Andres Serrano
This Saturday, Supreme will unveil its latest clothing collection, featuring sweatshirts, sweatpants and t-shirts donning images from Andres Serrano’s works, including the controversial Piss Christ (1987).
Serrano’s works sparked outrage among the Catholic Church for its association of bodily fluids and religious imagery. Together with Piss Christ, Madonna and Child II and Blood and Semen II will also appear on items from Supreme’s new collection, which will be available in the street wear retailer’s New York, Los Angeles, London and Paris boutiques from September 21.
