Maurizio Cattelan's 'NIGHT' Opens at Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin

Maurizio Cattelan returns to Berlin with 'NIGHT', his first major solo exhibition in Germany, hosted by the Neue Nationalgalerie from September 10, 2026 to March 7, 2027. The show coincides with the Preis der Nationalgalerie 2026, which now takes the form of a monographic exhibition in the museum's glass hall. Curated by Lisa Botti with director Klaus Biesenbach, the exhibition features key works such as 'Him' (2001), 'Novecento' (1997), 'La Rivoluzione Siamo Noi' (2000), and 'Untitled' (2003) inspired by Günter Grass's novel, alongside new site-specific installations. The title 'NIGHT' suggests altered perception, where familiar forms become strange. Cattelan previously co-curated the 4th Berlin Biennale twenty years ago. The Preis der Nationalgalerie, founded in 2000 by FREUNDE der Nationalgalerie, is a major German contemporary art award.
