Maurizio Cattelan Returns to Gagosian New York After 20 Years with 'Sunday'
Maurizio Cattelan is set to unveil his first solo exhibition in 20 years at Gagosian's West 21st Street venue, titled 'Sunday,' running from May 1 to June 15, 2024. Curated by Francesco Bonami, the show showcases two significant new pieces: 'Sunday' (2024), a massive installation made of 24-karat gold-plated stainless steel panels measuring 5 meters in height and 20 meters in width, and 'November' (2024), a marble fountain depicting a hunched figure urinating. The work 'Sunday' draws inspiration from Cattelan's previous piece 'America' (the solid gold toilet at the Guggenheim in 2016) and critiques American gun culture. Additionally, Cattelan will participate in the Holy See Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale with various artists, reflecting on societal violence.
