Shadow 2023 by Mauritizo Cattlelan Metz
1 Our recent trip to France gave us an opportunity to visit three good art galleries in Metz, Colmar, and Basel. This image is from the Centre Pompidou-Metz, which features contemporary art. This might not be to everyone’s taste, but I liked this piece called Shadow by Maurizio Cattelan; it managed to be shocking and amusing at the same time.
Maurizio Cattelan, born in 1960, is an Italian visual artist. Known primarily for his hyperrealistic sculptures and installations, Cattelan's practice also includes curating and publishing. His satirical approach to art has resulted in him being frequently labelled as a joker or prankster of the art world. Self-taught as an artist, Cattelan has exhibited internationally in museums and biennials. Maurizio Cattelan created his most important works of art at Viale Bligny 42 in Milan, where he lived for many years.
In 2011, the Guggenheim Museum in New York City presented a retrospective of his work. Some of Cattelan's better-known works include America, consisting of a solid gold toilet; La Nona Ora, a sculpture depicting a fallen Pope John Paul II who has been hit by a meteorite.
