Italian-born Maurizio Cattelan is known for his satirical and controversial sculptures. His sense of humor is present in his work, which he uses to discredit and ridicule art in general, as well as the institutions that promote it. It’s because of this, combined with the fact that he never seems to be taking himself too seriously. He says that he became an artist because of the assured income and the attractive women.
His more controversial sculpture titled, La Nona Ora (The Ninth Hour) depicts Pope John Paul II struck down my a meteorite.
