Yo Mama's Last Supper

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yo Mama's Last Supper is a controversial work of art by Renée Cox. It is a montage of five photographs of 12 black men and a naked black woman (the artist's self portrait) posed in imitation of Leonardo da Vinci's painting The Last Supper. Cox is pictured naked and standing, with her arms reaching upwards, as Jesus. The piece is exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and received acclaim and criticism in heavy measure, the latter notably by former mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani.
