Maurizio Cattelan @ Museum Boymans van Beuningen



At Museum Boymans van Beuningen in Rotterdam I was surpized to see Cattelan's figure coming out of a hole in the floor into the classics gallery . He looks in a sharp way at a painting of the 19th century master Koekoek and the obvious solemn authority of the Old Art is ironised in a subtle way.
This is the most expensive work of the living artist, worth 7,92 million dollars. The work was showed for the first time in 2001.
