Cattelan’s ‘Middle Finger’ to be Displayed at Milan Exchange – (Bloomberg – June 17, 2010)<\/a>
\nThe Italians have a sense of humor – not to mention a great sense of marketing genius. The City of Milan is likely to approve the one week display of Maurizio Cattelan’s controversial sculpture of the middle-finger gesture in front of the Italian Stock Exchange, Mayor Letizia Moratti said. The Carrara marble sculpture, called “Against Ideology,” will be part of an exhibition of the artist’s works at the Palazzo Reale Museum in September. “Milan’s fashion week needs events to draw attention. Art and Cattelan’s works are part of this,” said the mayor.<\/p>\n
\nA FINAL QUOTE…<\/p>\n
“Predicting the future is much too easy, anyway. You look at the people around you, the street you stand on, the visible air you breathe, and predict more of the same. To hell with more. I want better.”<\/i>
