The creator of some of the most audacious, widely discussed, and culturally resonant works of the past three decades — among them America (the solid gold toilet), Him (a kneeling Hitler), and Comedian (the duct-taped banana) — Cattelan has consistently used provocation, humor, and conceptual precision to expose the contradictions, absurdities, and hidden structures of institutional power, religious authority, and contemporary society with an intelligence and wit that have secured his place as one of the most important and widely collected artists alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eLa Nona Ora is based on Cattelan's original 1999 installation — one of the most controversial, debated, and culturally explosive works in the history of contemporary art — which depicted Pope John Paul II struck down by a meteorite and pinned to a bright red carpet. The title references the ninth hour of Christ's crucifixion, the moment at which he cries out \"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?\" before dying on the cross — a reference that gives the work its full theological and symbolic weight. By casting the most powerful figure in Catholicism as mortal, vulnerable, and subject to the arbitrary violence of the cosmos, Cattelan produced a work of simultaneously sacrilegious and deeply humanizing force that divided the art world and beyond, most notably forcing a museum director in Catholic Poland to resign. In this 2026 resin edition — each sculpture individually hand-painted and accompanied by a metal ferula — Cattelan brings this landmark work into the collectible object format for the first time, extending the reach and impact of one of the defining provocations in the history of contemporary art to a new generation of collectors. The edition of 666 — a number whose diabolical associations are entirely characteristic of Cattelan's dry and knowing wit — adds a final layer of conceptual precision to an object that operates simultaneously as sculpture, as cultural provocation, and as a collector's edition of the highest historical significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Delivery: \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e✔ Worldwide shipping from France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e✔ Professional packaging with insurance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e✔ Tracking number included for secure delivery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/pages\/contact-us\" title=\"Contact\"\u003e➡️ Contact us for any question\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this an original work by Maurizio Cattelan?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — an authentic individually hand-painted resin sculpture with metal ferula, hand-written edition number from the edition of 666, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, released April 23, 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is La Nona Ora?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLa Nona Ora is based on Cattelan's original 1999 installation depicting Pope John Paul II struck down by a meteorite — one of the most controversial and widely discussed works in contemporary art history, which divided the art world and beyond and forced a museum director in Catholic Poland to resign.
