Description: 

Maurizio Cattelan’s We Are the Revolution (2025) is a self-referential sculptural edition that continues the artist’s playful, subversive interrogation of art, identity, and authorship. Each hand-painted resin figure depicts Cattelan himself — slumped, barefoot, and suspended from a single nail — humorously transforming the artist into both subject and object.

A direct echo of his seminal La Rivoluzione Siamo Noi (2000), this edition parodies Joseph Beuys’ famed felt suit while inverting his statement, “Every man is an artist,” with Cattelan’s tongue-in-cheek response: “I am not really an artist.” The sculpture encapsulates his trademark irony and wit, bridging critique and comedy in a reflection on the artist’s place in contemporary culture.

“If you never thought you would be able to hang my effigy in your home, that makes two of us.”
— Maurizio Cattelan
