Maurizio Cattelan All 2011
Over the last several weeks, the artist leaked the news that his show would not just include every single work he had ever made, but that he would dangle it all from the top of the Guggenheim’s rotunda, leaving the rest of the museum empty. What’s more, the show would mark his retirement from art-making, leaving him free to pursue projects like “Toilet Paper,” the scabrous and surreal picture magazine he has created with the Milanese photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari. In other words, the retrospective was not going to be just a summing up. It would be the end. It would be, as Cattelan called it, “All.”
At least we have Toilet Paper…
