Portfolio of 43 sheets of facsimiles of hand-painted images and hand-calligraphed text, and one original watercolor, featuring works by Maurizio Cattelan.

Maurizio Cattelan’s latest publication is a captivating fusion of book and artwork. Reminiscent of Duchamp’s “Boîte-en-valise,” it serves as a comprehensive survey of Cattelan‘s artistic journey. The artist has ingeniously designed the loose pages to perfectly fit within a cardboard box, emphasizing the unique character of an artist's book. Each page is adorned with meticulously hand-illustrated text and images, further enhancing its artistic essence. Adding to the richness of this publication, Bice Curiger, esteemed chief editor of Parkett, has contributed a thought-provoking essay. Drawing on her vast knowledge and expertise, Curiger provides insightful commentary that deepens the reader’s understanding of Cattelan’s remarkable body of work. Together, these elements combine to create a unique publication that showcases the artistic vision and creative prowess of Maurizio Cattelan.
