Sky Arte documentary traces Maurizio Cattelan's career

A documentary titled 'Be Right Back,' directed by Maura Axelrod, will air on Sky Arte on March 10. The film explores the life and career of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, known for his provocative works such as 'La Nona Ora' (depicting Pope John Paul II struck by a meteorite) and 'Him' (a kneeling Hitler in prayer). The title references Cattelan's early installation 'Torno Subito,' where he placed a sign with that phrase on the gallery door meant for his exhibition. The documentary features interviews with curators, collectors, and contemporary art experts, tracing Cattelan's trajectory from the 1980s to the present. Cattelan gained international fame after his 2011 retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
