Maurizio Cattelan makes himself the punchline in this hand-painted, sculptural self-portrait.
A new limited edition sculpture, the work is the latest of Maurizio's revered miniatures – perhaps the most famous of which, La Rivoluzione Siamo Noi (2000), nods to German artist Joseph Beuys and his canonical felt suit. Cattelan’s motto, “I am not really an artist,” flips Beuys’ famous claim that “every man is an artist”. The statement encapsulates the tongue-in-cheek sentiment of this sculpture: at once a parody of Cattelan’s own role as creator and a reflection on the place of the artist in society.
