Image description

In Untitled , the viewer is presented with Cattelan's manifestation of Picasso posing in front of a displayed Roy Lichtenstein interior painting that is part of MoMA's permanent collection. The performance has been understood as making a mockery of MoMA in being an institutionalised artistic commodity playing upon the aspects of theme parks with Picasso portraying the ever faithful mascot. As curator Laura Hoptman points out in the essay accompanying the exhibition, 'There's an uncynical jolliness that the artist may not have intended, in a funny way, if it continues to be this well-received, it's a failure -- if Maurizio's work is about getting under the museum's skin. The piece is not that simple, it's complicit with the museum, we asked him to do this, we're paying him.', (L. Hoptman quoted from http://www.artnet.com/magazine_pre2000/reviews/fusselman/fusselman12-4- 98.asp).
