About The Work
The ring resembles the one worn by Pope John Paul II (who also appears in one of Cattelan’s most famous works “La Nona Ora”; a life-sized sculpture depicting the fallen Pope who has been hit by a meteorite). The work is recognizable as the artist’s main Instagram image.
"Cattelan may be closer at heart to the first refusal of labor in twentieth-century art history: the period in which Marcel Duchamp claimed he had stopped being an artist to become just a respirator, although he devoted himself to a spectrum of apparently marginal activities, which as a whole may be even more complex, inspiring, an influential than his strictly artistic oeuvre."
