Perhaps the most controversial artist on this list is New York-born photographer Andres Serrano. Serrano is known for his photographs that challenge societal issues surrounding sex and religion. His controversial artwork Impression (Piss Christ) depicts a small plastic crucifix submerged in the artist’s own urine. Furthermore, it is notably the most criticized.

Accusations of blasphemy were made against the artist, which as a Catholic he vehemently denied, arguing misinterpretation. The controversy escalated to him losing funding and even death threats.
