Cm 44x33, pp. 33 fogli sciolti Fogli sciolti in custodia rigida (loose as issued in original portfolio) Perfetto (Mint)In line with previous volumes, all the images in this book are rendered in a classical watercolour style and presented as facsimiles, only on the recto of the sheets. By transforming photographs of his works into watercolour interpretations, he creates a new artistic expression while maintaining the integrity and power of the original works.
The final question in the interview between Spector and Cattelan is as follows:
Nancy Spector: ‘If you could somehow look back in time, what advice would you give to your 25-year-old self? And what advice would you give to a young artist starting out today?'.
Maurizio Cattelan: ‘There is no useful advice simply because there is no one to listen to it. Life is a constellation of mistakes that you have to make yourself. But if you had to force me to answer, I would say ‘believe in what you do'. Be yourself and never be afraid to be different. And don't try to please your audience: half-hearted solutions are the wrong way to go'.
