ARTWORKS: ALL

IN AN ATTEMPT TO SAVOUR THE LAST MOMENTS OF HOLIDAY, WE WANDERED UP TO THE GUGGI TO CHECK OUT MAURIZIO CATTELAN'S RETROSPECTIVE ALL.

THE ITALIAN ENFANT TERRIBLE OF THE ART WORLD HAS HUNG PRACTICALLY HIS ENTIRE BODY OF WORK IN HARNESSES FROM THE CEILING, SO HIS REPETOIRE APPEARS AS IF BEING AIRLIFTED: TAXIDERMY, WAX SCULPTURES AND ALL. 
ABOVE, THE IMPOSSIBLY SORROWFUL HORSE KEEPS WATCH OVER THE CENTRE OF THE GALLERY.
EVEN PABLO P (THE FATHER OF US ALL) MAKES A FEW APPEARANCES WITH HIS INFLATED HEAD AND HIS SIGNATURE BRETON STRIPES:
BEHOLD, A PRAYING HITLER, A WATCHFUL EYE, AND A NEW USE FOR DUCT TAPE (AS IF WE NEEDED ANOTHER)

OUR HUMBLE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THIS INCREDIBLE MOBILE DO NOT DO CATTELAN'S WORK JUSTICE. YOU MUST RUN OVER TO THE UPPER EAST SIDE AND CHECK OUT THIS WONDERFUL FOLLY, POLITICAL SATIRE, EXISTENTIAL CRISIS AND CELEBRATION. ALL  IS ALL FABULOUS; WE WISH OUR HOUSE LOOKED LIKE THIS.
