Italian painter Maurizio Cattelan Is one of the most provocative authors of our time. His hooligan, anarchist, anti-religious works are exhibited in the best museums in the world, but for some time they all gathered as part of a single exhibition in Guggenheim Museum in New York in retrospective with a simple but all-encompassing title All Retrospective.
On the Novate. Ru website, we have repeatedly talked about the work of the Italian Maurizio Cattelan. For example, we reported on his anti-ideology exhibition at Milan Fashion Week, a sculpture called L. O. V. E. in the form of a bent middle finger, installed in one of the central squares of Milan, about the absurd sculptural installation Untitled.
In his work, Maurizio Cattelan tries to show various inconsistencies, controversial moments in modern culture, history, politics, religion, society, and violently criticize these moments. And he does it with a fair amount of humor, through hyperrealism.
Cattelan is an anarchist, he does not recognize power, does not recognize authorities, and therefore religious leaders, politicians and corporations fall under the hail of his creative criticism. He destroys important symbols for other people, overthrows idols, ridicules the "holy".
Here are all the works created by Maurizio Cattelan since 1989 and collected as part of the All Retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
Moreover, this time Cattelan laughs at himself. He decided not to exhibit these works in the halls of the museum, he hung them all together on ropes symbolizing the gallows in the rotunda of the Guggenheim Museum.
Viewers can view all these hanging installations from different angles, both from below and from above, from different levels of the rotunda balconies. This is the main concept of the All Retrospective exhibition. People should not perceive the individual works of Maurizio Cattelan, but his entire creative legacy as a whole, because this is a single message that he has been carrying to the world for several decades.
