I’ve been waiting for this show to open for months- the Maurizio Cattelan exhibition has finally arrived here at the Menil Collection. One of the most important modern artists of our time- this fantastic show debuts in Houston, and it is the very first solo show of Cattelans work in Texas. Famous for his site-specific installations, four brand new works have been created just for the Menil Collection.

Often using wit, humor, and shock, the work of Cattelan is always exciting. His works comment on morality, mortality, politics, religion, and of course, the art world. His work challenges the viewer to see things in a way that always inspires. Don’t miss this one – Houston is very lucky to have this show – now through August 15th.

Some examples of work by Maurizio Cattelan:

The Menil Collection, 1515 Sul Ross Road, Houston, TX 77006. ph. 713.525.9400 Hours 11am-7pm, Wednesdays thru Sundays.
