Maurizio Cattelan is an Italian born sculptor, installation, and performance artist known for as much for his elusiveness as his clever, unsettling, and often humorous work. Cattelan uses taxidermy, wax figures, masks, and extensive gallery modifications to create his visions..
My personal favorite is La Nona Ora, an effigy of the late Pope John Paul II being hit by a meteorite, surrounded by the broken glass from the glass ceiling above.
