Cattelan
"Written in an engaging style by long-term Cattelan collaborator, and New Museum curator, Massimiliano Gioni, the volume recounts the many editions, and ephemeral projects spawned by the New York-based Italian artist.

Tracing a lineage from Hironymus Bosch to Philip Guston, Ziolkowski's work makes a startling demand: it asks the eye not to glance but to glare, to hold focus on the unraveling chaos of his images, and to unbridle itself in the hallucinatory vehemence of his vision."
