Maurizio Cattelan. All

Valutazione del libro

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Hailed as a provocateur and tragic poet, Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan has created unforgettable contemporary art, most famously with "The Ninth Hour," featuring Pope John Paul II struck by a meteorite. His work draws from popular culture, history, and organized religion, combining bold irreverence with serious cultural critique. This catalogue accompanies the Guggenheim Museum's retrospective of Cattelan, featuring a unique site-specific installation that challenges traditional retrospective formats. The faux-leather-bound hardcover, adorned with gold stamping, resembles an old textbook or bible. It catalogs nearly every work by Cattelan from the late '80s to the present in a double-column format, showcasing full-color reproductions with accompanying entries. As one of the wittiest and most beautiful art books in recent years, it includes a detailed critical overview by Nancy Spector, documenting Cattelan's artistic output, as well as his roles as a curator, editor, and publisher, alongside a comprehensive exhibition history and bibliography. This volume stands as the definitive guide to Cattelan's work and influence.
