Artist's Book. Maurizio Cattelan presents a unique publication that blurs the boundaries between a book and an artwork, reminiscent of Duchamp's 'Boite-en-valise'. Serving as a comprehensive survey of Cattelan's work, this publication is meticulously crafted to fit within a cardboard box. The pages, adorned with hand-illustrated text and images, evoke the essence of an artist's book, capturing the artistic spirit in every detail. Adding to its depth, Bice Curiger, esteemed chief editor of Parkett and curator at Kunsthaus Zurich, provides an insightful essay that enriches the reader's understanding of Cattelan's artistry. 43 loose pages printed recto only; 32,5×43 cm.

Store Description

The Studio Bibliografico Giorgio Maffei specialises in original texts by twentieth century visual and literary avant-garde artists. These range from the historic publications produced in the early 1900s, to the Futurist, Dadaist, Abstract and Surrealist volumes which are now considered to be classics, to the subsequent revolutionary techniques of the second half of the century. The bibliographic research already carried out by the Studio Bibliografico offers confirmation of the importance of this area and of the fact that the entire history of modern publishing continues to offer immense research potential in all areas, covering original texts, exhibition catalogues, specialist magazines and in particular artists' books, that fertile terrain which encouraged the meeting and cross- fertilisation of many different art forms.
