Maurizio Cattelan, the Italian provocateur of contemporary art, continues to blur the lines between satire and sincerity. Known for his audacious works—such as a banana duct-taped to a wall and a sculpture of Pope John Paul II struck by a meteor—Cattelan challenges the art world's conventions. His latest endeavors push boundaries even further, questioning the very nature of art and its role in society. While some critics argue that his works are mere stunts, Cattelan maintains that his art is a reflection of the absurdity of modern life. Whether you view him as a genius or a jester, there's no denying that Cattelan has mastered the art of making us think—and laugh.
