Stuck: Maurizio Cattelan: The Unauthorized Autobiography - Paperback

by Francesco Bonami (Author)

Updated and newly illustrated edition of Francesco Bonami's Maurizio Cattelan: The Unauthorized Autobiography.

First published in 2011 in Italian, and subsequently in 2013 in English, STUCK: Maurizio Cattelan: The Unauthorized Autobiography, charts the life of the Italian artist beginning with his childhood in Italy. His longtime friend and collaborator Francesco Bonami assumes Cattelan's perspective, and recounts with great humor episodes from the artist's life and decades' long career. The new edition includes illustrations of some of Cattelan's key works featured in the book, a new foreword, and six new chapters, which take the reader beyond the retrospective at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York in 2011 up until 2019 and Comedian, the infamous taped banana.
