Opening from November 20, 2021 to February 20, 2022, “Maurizio Cattelan: The Last Judgment” is the first solo exhibition in China by #mauriziocattelan (b. 1960, Padua, Italy), one of the most popular and controversial figures on the international #contemporaryart scene. Taking its title from Michelangelo’s fresco in the Sistine Chapel, this exhibition is a focused overview of the artist’s more than three decades of often provocative, mocking, and prankish artistic output. Whereas his art has often been presented in a highly specific manner, this exhibition at UCCA takes a more holistic approach, offering the opportunity to pause and reflect on the artist’s vision and philosophy. “Maurizio Cattelan: The Last Judgment” is curated by Francesco Bonami, and organized by Liu Kaiyun, Edward Guan, Shi Yao, Anna Yang, and Yvonne Lin.
The artist’s first solo exhibition in China presents 29 works from his more than three-decade-long career that confront themes of death, social mores, the colossus of art history, and the nature and value of art in globalized contemporary society.
