Considered one of the most thought-provoking artists of our generation, Cattelan was successful in raising a few eyebrows once again. Drawing on aspects of popular culture and organised religion, his work consists of hyper-realistic sculptures that sometimes cut a little close to the bone, yet always lightened though his trademark dose of humour. The arrangement of work appears almost like a mass execution, demonstrating Cattelan’s rebellion against the concept of a traditional exhibition, whilst celebrating his chilling genre and artwork.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
Siding with controversy and bending the rules once again is 51-year-old artist Maurizio Cattelan. The Italian mischief-maker’s aptly titled ‘All’ exhibition was a showcase of his entire back catalogue dating all the way back to 1989. Descending from the ceiling of New York’s Guggenheim Museum, Cattelan chose to compile all of his life’s work into one suspended installation, dangling overhead from straps and cables like a nightmarish baby mobile.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
