An updated edition of the definitive monograph on Maurizio Cattelan, a provocateur and tragic poet of our times, is returning to print. Cattelan, known for creating unforgettable contemporary art, is most famously recognized for "The Ninth Hour" (1999), which depicts Pope John Paul II struck by a meteorite. His work, drawing from popular culture, history, and organized religion, is bold and irreverent while delivering serious cultural critiques. This second edition updates the catalogue from the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum's 2011-12 retrospective, where Cattelan created a site-specific installation that suspended his entire oeuvre from the museum's iconic rotunda. The book itself is a faux-leatherbound hardcover with gold stamping, designed to resemble an old textbook or bible, and details nearly every work from the late '80s to the present in a double-column format with full-color reproductions. It also discusses Cattelan's return to art after a five-year "retirement" with a new project at the Guggenheim in May 2016. Nancy Spector has enhanced her critical overview, which documents Cattelan's artistic output and his roles as curator, editor, and publisher, with a new coda. This revised edition ensures that it remains the definitive source on his influential career.
