Maurizio
Cattelan
October 20th - January 5th 1997
Maurizio Cattelan adds
two works to the bestiary, Love Saves Life,
1995 and Trotsky’s Ballad, 1996.
The former calls to mind a fable,
a children’s story: a chicken on a
dog on a donkey… here stuffed and attached, one on top of the other.
The latter, a suspended mare, recreated with horse hide affixed to a structure,
compares the realism of form and verbal metaphor.
With wit and poetry, these
works highlight one of the paradoxes of art: the realistic illusion of fiction.
Maurizio
Cattelan, born in 1960 at Padua (Italy). Works and lives in Milan and New York.
