“Donald Trump is all things to all people,” photographer Andres Serrano said in a recent preview for his first-ever installation project, “The Game: All Things Trump.” To fulfill that maximalist spirit, Serrano’s exhibition opening Friday features an astonishing number of Trump-related memorabilia and oddities.
Of particular note is a piece of the cake from Trump’s wedding to Melania Knauss, for which Serrano paid $1,800. In total, the Piss Christ artist spent around $200,000 and some long hours on eBay hunting down assorted kitsch from Trump’s career, including blackjack tables from the failed Trump Plaza in Atlantic City, mannequins decked in Trump Taj Mahal security guard uniforms, and a slew of magazines with Trump on the cover — including the “Best Sex I Ever Had” issue of the New York Post from 1990, and a curious Trump-signed 2015 issue of Newsweek with Hillary Clinton on the cover. As many items in the exhibition attest, the president will sign just about anything.
