![Today is Good Friday, a solemn holiday when Christians remember that Jesus Christ “suffered, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to hell.” Images of Christ continue to make their way into contemporary art and media as artists cite the Biblical roots of much of art history.
In 2019, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago mounted a mighty exhibition entitled “Fragments of a Crucifixion,” which explores the ongoing relevance of the crucifixion. The works in the exhibition invoke agony and ecstasy through bodily traces and scenes of absence and loss, and to art’s capacity to evoke life and love in the face of brutality.
Titus Kaphar, “Ascension,” 2016.
Felix Gonzalez-Torres, “Untitled (The End),” 1990.
Adrian Piper, “Imagine [Trayvon Martin],” 2013.
Paul Pfeiffer, “Fragment of a Crucifixion (After Francis Bacon),” 1999.
Andres Serrano, “Untitled (Knifed to Death I and II),” 1992.](https://fsa.art/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
