Maurizio Cattelan, il “provocatore” dell’arte

13 Ottobre 2019

Ci sono anche opere appositamente concepite per l'occasione nel percorso espositivo di "Victory is Not an Option", la personale che il Blenheim Palace di Woodstock, nell’Oxfordshire, in Inghilterra, sta dedicando a Maurizio Cattelan. La trentennale carriera dell’artista italiano è raccontata da questa mostra, visitabile fino al 27 ottobre. Le provocatorie opere di Cattelan, noto anche per lavori come "America", il water in oro diciotto carati presentato per la prima volta nel 2016 e oggetto del furto avvenuto a pochi giorni dall'inaugurazione della rassegna, si misurano con le storiche sale della dimora inglese, considerata un capolavoro dell’architettura barocca.
