Maurizio Cattelan | Good vs Evil





Maurizio Cattelan
Untitled (Good vs Evil)
Wenge and Walnut board and box, foam and suede interior, hand painted pieces
2003


Action figure archetypes representing good and evil, with Hitler and Cruella deVil as king and queen, opposed by the Virgin Mary and Martin Luther King. Is that Freud besides Dracula?

One of the edition of 7 recently sold at auction for $386,712.00 US.


Seen below as part of Cattelan's hanging retrospective at the Guggenheim, which closed a couple of weeks ago.
