Maurizio Cattelan, Not Afraid of Love, through January 8, 2017
One of France’s oldest institutions, La Monnaie – the mint established in the year 864 – has devoted its ornate walls to an anarchist of contemporary art, Maurizio Cattelan (b. 1960). Not Afraid of Love is the largest retrospective of Cattelan’s art ever mounted in Europe, and comprises of works that the artist feels are among his most significant.
Among them are The Ninth Hour (La Nona Ora, 1999), showing Pope John Paul II in ceremonial dress being struck by a meteor. Its initial exhibition at London’s Royal Academy of Art raised quite a scandal.
