Kumu Documentary: “Maurizio Cattelan: Be Right Back”
29 Mar
Kumu auditorium
An art world upstart, the provocative and elusive artist Maurizio Cattelan made his career on playful and subversive works that send up the artistic establishment, until a retrospective at the Guggenheim in 2011 finally solidified his place in the contemporary art canon. Axelrod’s equally playful profile leaves no stone unturned in trying to figure out who Maurizio Cattelan is.
