Does anyone else like this bloke?

If you havent heard of him, this video is worth a watch.. he's a bit of a nutter.

The coolest thing he has done was exhibit a police report, noting that the piece to have been presented, called "invisible," was stolen from his car the night before!

Love his Wrong Gallery edition too.

Found these funny and affordable L.O.V.E reproductions during my stay in Milano last week . The original is in front of the italian stock exchange building....

To celebrate the first million copies TOILETPAPER has created a special golden vinyl of Daft Punk’s 1995 classic track “Da Funk”. The memento was conceived taking inspiration from the classic ‘’golden record’’ normally used by the music industry to remark this major achievement. The 12” picture disc, created in collaboration with THE VINYL FACTORY and pressed as a limited edition of only 1000 copies, will become itself a collectors’ item, something epic to instantly crave.

Born in 2010 Toilet Paper is an artists' magazine created and produced by Maurizio Cattelan and photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari. Since the first issue Toilet Paper has created a world that displays ambiguous narratives and a troubling imagination. Combining commercial photography with twisted narrative and surrealistic imagery. The result is a publication that is itself a work of art which, through its accessible form as a magazine, and through its wide distribution, challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy.

Track listing:
Side A
Daft Punk - Da Funk
Side B
Daft Punk - Teachers



Medium: 12” Gold Picture Disc
Two tracks by Daft Punk (‘Da Funk, ‘Teachers’)
Artwork by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari
Clear PVC sleeve with Daft Punk and Toilet Paper stickers
Limited to 1000 copies worldwide

Price: £50

Did anyone see this last week?

Wasn't familiar with his work. I thought it was really good and and worth a watch. The twist toward the end about the artists identity was brilliant and i did not see it coming at all. Loved the sculptures as well.

I caught it. Very good insight into his life/work. Worth a watch!

[mojo]

Yes, a very interesting artist and a great way of presenting his work and identity.  Loved it.

These are great. Thanks for posting

[The Italian One]

Chance to be able to buy one?
anyone got a reply?

[The Italian One]

just got a reply with confirmation,

is this one of the few signed edition from Cattelan?

[moron]

It would look better gold plated like his gold plated toilet that was so called nicked.

[The Italian One]

raised price at 800.....

You have $6 million and you buy a moldy banana stuck to a piece of paper with duct tape.
The auction house made $1 million btw. Or: “how to deceive the poor”. 🤷‍♂️

Just read that Avant Arte will be releasing a Cattelan edition early next year. Should be interesting.
