Italian works Maurizio Cattelan can cause admiration, indignation or even disgust, but they certainly do not leave anyone indifferent. An example of this is a new work from this master - five dead horseswhose bodies protrude from the wall of an art gallery in the Swiss city of Basel.
Maurizio Cattelan is one of the main troublemakers, the "bad boy" in the world of contemporary art. His works break all the templates for the perception of beauty and are aimed at shocking the audience, destroying all their ideas about what art is and what it should be.
In a retrospective of Cattelan's work, you can see Adolf Hitler kneeling, a meteorite that kills the Pope, a giant hand with a protruding middle finger, an elephant in a cloak of a Ku Klux Klan knight and many other amazing works.
The maestro presented his new work the other day at the Fondation Beyeler in Basel. This extraordinary work of art consists of five bodies of horses sticking out of a snow-white wall.
This work by Maurizio Cattelan echoes his old unnamed work. True, before the horse was alone, now this animal has acquired four more "colleagues", lined up in a row with him.
The work called Kaputt, according to Maurizio Cattelan himself, is dedicated to the loneliness in which he found himself after a few years ago he announced the end of his career as an artist. True, he could not stand it for a long time in the status of a “pensioner”. And recently he again began to delight the world art community with his new works.
Wanting to save himself and his previous horse work from loneliness, Cattelan created Kaputt, which already consists of five dead horse statues, made using the taxidermy technique.

Maurizio Cattelan is a world-renowned self-taught artist and a living example of how a "bad" provincial guy has become an icon of world contemporary art.

An absurd sculptural performance by Maurizio Cattelan
"Untitled", you mean "Untitled" is a rather strange, in my opinion, sculpture by Maurizio Cattelan, which is a headless horse hanging right from the wall. Is it just some kind of nonsense, or does this installation have a certain meaning, and this scarecrow hangs there for a reason?
