In the history of art, Maurizio Cattelan is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Maurizio Cattelan as Italian sculptor and conceptual artist (born 1960).
Maurizio Cattelan was born at Padua in 1960. His recorded nationality is Italy.
Contemporary practice spans painting, photography, installation and digital media, with biennials and galleries setting reputations.
He worked as artist, photographer and conceptual artist.
Among his best-known works are L.O.V.E. and Comedian. Looking is a skill, and the artists who last are those who taught their audience how to do it.
That the work was made in Italy shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Maurizio Cattelan is still working, and the shape of the body of work is not yet settled.
