The grisly use of human blood, flesh, organs and bones isn’t new to the art world. Several artists have drawn outrage over the years, including British artist Anthony-Noel Kelly, whose fascination with human body parts led him to illegally smuggle human remains for his work, for which he was jailed nine months. In 2007, prominent British artist Damien Hirst fashioned a platinum cast of a human skull that was encrusted with diamonds, and featured real human teeth, for a provocative piece he called, For the Love of God.
The package, sent to an Indonesian artist known for using human body parts in his work, contained a hand and packets of placenta.
