Talk:Andres Serrano

message: This article contains a critique which is unbalanced.  Searle's criticism is derisive, but there is no rebuttal of the charge.  If you're going to have an article about a controversial artist, the criticisms should be reflective of all major sides of the controversy.  72.92.23.96 00:17, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Lunatic quotes such as Searle's comment that Andres Serrano's photos are "far more about being lurid than anything else... In the end, the show is all surface, and looking for hidden depths does no good," should not even make their way into the article. It's ridiculous that an article as short as this has only one source cited, and that source being a wholly negative review of just one show of Serrano's work. Bus stop 07:59, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. Serrano is a controversial artist, and public opinion in the 90s was largely in line with the quoted article (albeit less tamed.) I do think that it should be balanced, as he's more positively regarded in art and academic spheres, however, the critique should stay. I'm sure it would be easy to find some sources with positive remarks about the artist and his works. -Etafly 13:48, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I expanded this paragraph in an attempt to balance the representation of critical reception. - sarahobender 20:36, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article contains bias 

message: The following, reads like an opinion "The most famous and notorious of Serrano's work plays on the relationship between beautiful imagery and vulgar materials, his subject matter often drawing from the potentially controversial and, perhaps, the willfully provocative".
I'm removing it, as there is no cite or source for what is the most famous, etc.
