BOOK:
Maurizio Cattelan presents a sequel to his first work for Three Star Books. “The Three Qattelan” follows “Die / Die more / Die better / Die again” (2007), and continues the story of his ongoing autobiographical series. The book is entirely edited and designed by the artist, who chose his long-time interlocutor, Francesco Bonami as the interpreter of the volume. In forty-nine pages of handwritten and illustrated text, subsequently printed in offset, this manuscript seeks the original spirit of transforming books into works of art. Forty-nine plates painstakingly painted by a Chinese illustrator provide images instead of reproductions. Each plate was printed on one side only, exactly as the artist created the drawing. Capable of bending the attention of the economic, critical and public media to his will, on extraordinary macro-levels, in his autobiography, Cattelan shows that his masterly control ranges from power over the multitudes to the precise positioning of images and punctuation on the printed page.
