Andres Serrano's History of Sex Vandalized
(New York Times, October 09, 2007)

Four masked men recently vandalized an exhibition in Lund, Sweden, by controversial New York photographer Andres Serrano. The vandals entered the Kulturen Gallery during normal patron hours and filmed themselves jostling visitors who had come to see Serrano's explicit History of Sex show. The intruders then broke the glass covering the photos, yelling, "We don't support this," as they tore apart the prints. By the end of the rampage, half the show — seven large photographs, valued at $200,000 — had been destroyed. This is not the first time Serrano's work has been attacked; a print of his Piss Christ was wrecked in 1997 when it was on view at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia.
