Maurizio Cattelan: Breath Ghosts Blind

Regular price Regular price $50

This book was published on the occasion of Maurizio Cattelan: Breath Ghosts Blind at Pirelli HangarBicocca, Milan. It features classic examples of the artist’s iconoclastic work, along with three major new works, all from 2021: Breath represents a reclining man and a dog in Carrara marble; Ghosts consists of thousands of taxidermied pigeons perched throughout the space; and Blind embeds the form of an airplane within that of a monolithic tower.

The bilingual (English/Italian) catalogue includes analyses of Cattelan’s practice by an array of critics and philosophers, including Francesco Bonami, Arnon Grunberg, Golan Haji, Andrea Pinotti, Nancy Spector, and Timothy Verdon. It features a conversation between the artist and the exhibition’s curators, Roberta Tenconi and Vincente Todolí, in which he discusses the origins and significance of the works, and texts by Giustina Renier Michiel and Susan Sontag. Entries on the three new works by Lucia Aspesi, Fiammetta Griccioli, and Mariagiulia Leuzzi are also included.
