Podcast appearances and mentions of Maurizio Cattelan

Pop art and New York share a special relationship. The Guggenheim was particularly important to the evolution of the genre in the city, when a British curator organized the first museum presentation of Pop art in New York in 1963. This summer, the Guggenheim is exploring the Pop art in its collection with a new exhibit, Guggenheim Pop: 1960 to Now, featuring the work of 29 artists who engaged in Pop art, from the past to the present. Guggenheim curator Lauren Hinkson discusses the show and the unique artistic signatures of Pop. Image Courtesy of the artist and Perrotin: Maurizio Cattelan,Comedian, 2019.

Hoy me acompaña Rocío Gutiérrez, directora de la Fundación Montenmedio Contemporánea, para hablar de uno de los museos de arte al aire libre más importantes del sur de Europa, del arte site-specific y de la relación entre arte y naturaleza.Tuve la suerte de visitar la Fundación NMAC en abril y es uno de esos proyectos que cuando los ves en persona entiendes por qué existen y por qué importan. El proyecto nació en 2001 de la mano de la familia Blázquez, Antonio y su hija Jimena, con una idea muy clara: invitar a artistas internacionales a realizar proyectos artísticos específicos que se muestran en sintonía con el paisaje mediante el estudio de la región a través de su historia, geografía y sociedad.Rocío nos explica cómo surgió el proyecto y las diversas exposiciones que han ido construyendo una colección permanente de obras site-specific con artistas de prestigio internacional como Marina Abramović, Sol LeWitt, Olafur Eliasson, Maurizio Cattelan, Cristina Lucas o Susana Solano. También hablamos sobre James Turrell y su impresionante Second Wind 2005, la primera obra suya instalada de forma permanente en España, diseñada específicamente para este entorno.Además abordamos la posición geográfica cargada de significado de Montenmedio que se sitúa en el extremo sur de Europa, frente al continente africano, Hablamos sobre Salam Europe! de Adel Abdessemed (2006), que dialoga directamente con las dificultades sociales que implica ese cruce de fronteras y de culturas. Finalmente, hablamos sobre la importancia de las actividades educativas, de deslocalizar la oferta cultura y de democratizar el acceso al arte.

A South Korean art student, Noh Huyn-soo, made headlines when he ate a banana from a famous installation by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan at the Leeum Museum of Art in Seoul.一个韩国艺术学生诺·贤洙（Noh Huyn-soo）因在首尔Leeum Museum of Art吃掉意大利艺术家Maurizio Cattelan一件著名装置艺术中的香蕉而登上新闻头条。In a video captured by a friend, Noh boldly removed the duct-taped banana from the wall, ate it in front of astonished onlookers, and then reattached the banana peel using the same tape before leaving with a satisfied expression.在朋友拍摄的视频中，诺大胆地将用胶带粘在墙上的香蕉取下，当着震惊围观者的面把它吃掉，随后又用同样的胶带把香蕉皮重新贴回墙上，并带着满意的表情离开。When questioned by the museum, Noh explained that he was hungry and saw the act as a form of artistic expression.当被博物馆询问时，诺解释说自己当时饿了，并认为这一行为也是一种艺术表达。The banana is part of Cattelan's installation called Comedian and is regularly replaced every few days.这根香蕉是卡特兰名为Comedian的装置艺术作品的一部分，而且每隔几天都会定期更换。This is not the first time the banana has been consumed, as performance artist David Datuna ate a banana from the installation during its exhibition in Miami in 2019.这已经不是这根香蕉第一次被吃掉了，因为行为艺术家David Datuna曾在2019年该作品于Miami展出期间，也吃过装置中的一根香蕉。Cattelan, known for provocative artworks, reportedly had no issue with Noh's actions.据报道，以挑衅性艺术作品闻名的卡特兰，对诺的行为并不介意。

In this episode of Art Ed Radio, Tim is joined by Kyle Wood, art teacher and host of the Who ARTed? podcast, for a fun romp through some of art history's funniest, strangest, and most surprisingly hilarious works. They dig into the surreal nightmare world of Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights, the dry conceptual wit of René Magritte, and the internet-breaking audacity of Maurizio Cattelan's Comedian (aka the duct-taped banana) along with a detour through Renaissance babies with male pattern baldness and Salvador Dalí's near-death by diving helmet.   Whether you're an art teacher looking to bring more humor into your classroom or just a fellow appreciator of the wonderfully weird, this episode is a perfect reminder that art history is both stranger and funnier than you might think. This month at The Art of Education, we're leaning into laughter, and there's no better place to start than right here.

Giuseppe Nifosì"Irriverenti"Arte contemporanea tra provocazione e denunciaEditori Laterzawww.laterza.itYves Klein, Piero Manzoni, Pino Pascali, Christo e Jeanne-Claude, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Jeff Koons, Maurizio Cattelan, Regina José Galindo e Banksy: concettuali, pop, performer o graffitisti, certamente grandi artisti che della contemporaneità sono cifra e interpretazione.Questo libro racconta le sortite, le trovate, le provocazioni, le denunce coraggiose o trasgressive di un audace gruppo di artisti, alcuni concettuali, altri pop, altri ancora performer e graffitisti, attivi tra la fine degli anni Cinquanta e i nostri giorni. Attraverso la loro arte apparentemente beffarda, allergica ai canoni, hanno affrontato temi fondamentali della nostra epoca –la violenza di genere, la malattia, l'AIDS e la morte, il consumismo, la guerra –e hanno rimesso in discussione il ruolo e la natura stessa dell'arte. Nifosì li definisce irriverenti perché non hanno rispettato gli schemi. Hanno spiazzato, scombinato, disturbato, eluso. Alcuni di loro sono stati irriverenti nel proporre forme d'arte lontanissime dalla nozione comune di arte. Altri hanno affrontato tematiche scabrose o creato immagini scandalose, rompendo tabù, violando la sensibilità del pubblico. Alcuni spinti da nobilissimi propositi, altri da uno spirito canzonatorio e ribelle. Nessuno può definirsi banale. Nessuno inutile. Tutti hanno osato, tutti hanno utilizzato l'arte come un grimaldello per entrare nelle nostre coscienze. Ci hanno stupito, irritato, divertito e così facendo sono riusciti ad attirare la nostra attenzione e spinto a riflettere anche quando non ne avevamo voglia.Giuseppe Nifosì (1964) è storico dell'arte e dell'architettura e docente di Storia dell'arte.

In Part 2 of the Hilde Lynn Helphenstein (Jerry Gogosian) conversation, the discussion turns raw, vulnerable, and deeply structural. Hilde speaks candidly about burnout, public vilification, online pile-ons, and the emotional cost of living as a persona inside an unforgiving attention economy. She describes losing followers overnight, being labeled with extreme political accusations, and watching the art world take visible pleasure in her public failures while remaining silent during her successes. She recounts the personal toll of constant media exposure, professional pressure, and economic precarity: marriage collapse, total exhaustion, and a year-long withdrawal from work following multiple suicide attempts. Jerry, she explains, has evolved from a meme engine into a living, walking performance — where even the most banal moments of daily life become content whether she wants them to or not. The episode confronts what it means to live as a meme in a broken matrix of attention, validation, and misrecognition. The conversation pivots into economics and geography. Drawing on her business school training, Hilde walks through quantitative tightening, interest rates, the collapse of NFTs and crypto, and the bursting of the 2022 speculative bubble. She frames art explicitly as a Veblen good — a luxury asset that fails first when the economy tightens. She argues forcefully that New York is no longer an artist city, but a financialized transaction hub. Instead, she advocates for artists to relocate to affordable cities like Chicago or even small towns, building localized collector bases rather than chasing validation from elite centers. What emerges is a sharp, pragmatic model of survival: cultivate 12 lifelong collectors, embrace regional ecosystems, make work for people you actually live with, and stop imagining museum permanence as the only measure of success. Hilde rejects the mythology of infinite institutional validation, arguing instead for circulation, use, disposal, and lived attachment. The episode closes on the tension between speculation and sustainability, between global markets and local communities, and between career branding and genuine artistic life.

This week: OpenAI has moved away from being run as a non-profit.  Felix Salmon, Elizabeth Spiers, and Emily Peck discuss the stated reasons behind the move and what it actually means to be a not-for-profit company. Then, the rates for next year's Affordable Care Act marketplace insurance have come out, and the prices have skyrocketed, reflecting an increase in healthcare costs across the board in the US. The hosts examine the reasons for this depressing trend. And finally, lovers of Maurizio Cattelan's “America”, rejoice. Though his original piece was stolen, it turned out there was a spare 14k gold toilet all along and it will be auctioned off at Sotheby's amid record high gold prices.  In the Slate Plus episode: AI Job Apocalypse…Now?

En 2019, à la foire d'art contemporain Art Basel Miami, un objet pour le moins surprenant attire les foules : une banane, fixée au mur avec un simple morceau de ruban adhésif gris. L'œuvre, baptisée Comedian, est signée par l'artiste italien Maurizio Cattelan, déjà connu pour son humour grinçant et ses provocations. Son prix ? Entre 120 000 et 150 000 dollars l'exemplaire. Trois versions de cette banane ont été vendues en quelques jours. Mais comment un fruit périssable, scotché à la va-vite, peut-il être considéré comme de l'art – et surtout, valoir une telle somme ?La clé réside dans la nature même de l'art contemporain. Depuis Marcel Duchamp et son urinoir (Fontaine, 1917), l'art ne se limite plus à la virtuosité technique ou à la beauté esthétique. Il peut être une idée, une provocation, un geste qui bouscule nos certitudes. Cattelan s'inscrit dans cette lignée : en choisissant un objet banal, universel, il met en lumière l'absurdité et parfois l'excentricité du marché de l'art. Ce n'est pas la banane qui a de la valeur en soi, mais le concept qu'elle incarne et la signature de l'artiste.La banane devient ainsi un symbole. Elle parle de consommation, d'éphémère (puisqu'elle pourrit), mais aussi du rôle de l'artiste dans une société où tout peut devenir œuvre d'art si le contexte l'y autorise. Acheter Comedian, ce n'est pas acheter un fruit et du scotch, c'est acheter l'idée, accompagnée d'un certificat d'authenticité. Si la banane noircit, il suffit d'en remplacer une autre : ce qui compte, c'est le geste de la scotcher, selon les instructions de Cattelan.L'événement a aussi généré un énorme buzz médiatique. La banane a été prise en photo par des milliers de visiteurs, reprise dans la presse mondiale, et même… mangée par un performeur, David Datuna, qui a baptisé son acte “Hungry Artist”. Cet épisode n'a fait qu'accroître la notoriété et la valeur symbolique de l'œuvre.En somme, Comedian illustre parfaitement la logique de l'art contemporain : provoquer, questionner, jouer avec les codes. Son prix astronomique n'est pas lié au coût des matériaux, mais à la puissance de l'idée, au nom de l'artiste, et à la frénésie spéculative du marché. Une banane scotchée au mur devient donc une œuvre d'art, parce qu'elle nous oblige à nous demander : qu'est-ce que l'art ? Et rien que pour cela, elle a déjà rempli sa mission. Hébergé par Acast.

Send us a textIn this episode we meet the enigmatic British artist Mason Storm at a vernissage in Basel, hosted by our partner Galerie Gleis4. The evening itself was already remarkable – but Mason sold every single artwork he brought, turning the event into something unforgettable.As always, he appeared masked, blurring the line between artist and artwork, between myth and reality. We talk about the ongoing media storm around his controversial piece “Saint or Sinner”, the outrage it sparked from Bishop Glettler in the German-speaking world, and why the debate is still alive.We also explore when Mason first began painting, his unique relationship with Banksy, and – with a playful wink – whether he might have also worked with Maurizio Cattelan.A provocative, mysterious and entertaining conversation in English with an artist who refuses to be just one thing: he is both the creator and the creation.

Nous sommes à la Royal Academy de Londres, en 1999. C'est lors d'une exposition intitulée « Apocalypse » qu'est présentée une œuvre de Maurizio Cattelan. Elle s'intitule « La Nona Ora ». Cattellan y met en scène, de façon très réaliste, le pape Jean-Paul II représenté grandeur nature, par une sculpture de cire, habillé de la traditionnelle soutane blanche, écrasé par une météorite et entouré d'éclats de verre dispersés sur un tapis rouge. La « Nona Ora », ou neuvième heure, fait référence à l'heure de la mort du Christ sur la croix, selon la théologie chrétienne. Pour l'artiste italien, il s'agit d'interroger le pouvoir de la religion sur la mort et le système de peur qu'elle instaure. L'année suivante, la directrice d'un musée de Varsovie, en Pologne, pays catholique, sera contrainte à la démission pour avoir présenté l'objet du scandale. Et que dire du « Piss Christ », du photographe américain Andres Serrano, nous dévoilant un crucifix immergé dans un verre rempli d'urine et de sang ? Jugée blasphématoire, l'œuvre subira des coups de marteau lors de son exposition à Avignon. L'auteur et différents directeurs et conservateurs d'institutions montrant la photographie seront, quant à eux, menacés de mort. Serrano défendra son travail comme étant une critique de “l'industrie milliardaire du Christ-des-bénéfices”. Il n'a pas fallu attendre le XXe siècle pour que des artistes militent, dénoncent, bataillent, accusent … Ainsi, dans les années 1830, le français Honoré Daumier caricature le roi Louis-Philippe. Celui-ci, une tête en forme de poire, dévore des hottes d'écus arrachés au peuple miséreux. Une représentation qui entraîna la condamnation de son auteur pour “excitation à la haine et au mépris du gouvernement du roi, et offense à la personne du Roi”. Et que dire du « Radeau de la Méduse" de Théodore Géricaul, des « Désastres de la Guerre" de Francisco Goya, de "La Liberté guidant le peuple" d'Eugène Delacroix et de tant d'autres bien plus lointains encore ? Suivons, aujourd'hui, quelques-uns de ces artistes qui se sont « engagés » … Avec les Lumières de notre historienne de l'art préférée : Anne Hustache.

Rudolf Stingel talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Stingel was born in 1956 in Merano, South Tyrol, Italy, and lives in New York. He explores myriad ways of making paintings and extending the idea of what painting might be. With both a love of his medium and skepticism about the possibility of creating something new from such a time-honoured discipline, Rudolf explores a range of forms of painting, from abstraction to photorealism. He emerged in the 1980s, a period in which painting was condemned to obsolescence by some prominent critics, but he met this dismissal with a tangible sense of liberation, pushing painting beyond its traditional formats and contexts into the realms of sculpture and installation, while also engaging with historical genres and with key figures and objects in art history. The result is a body of work that is simultaneously weighty in the seriousness with which it questions painting and fleet-footed in the way that it relentlessly shifts, doubles-back and invents. Stingel reflects on his constant irreverence for convention, his attempts to “crank up the volume” in his groups of paintings and installation, the subtle strain of autobiography through his work. He discusses the early influence of Pablo Picasso, the enduring impact of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and the energy given to him by close friendships with artists including Urs Fischer and Maurizio Cattelan. He talks about the impact of films by Marguerite Duras and the music of Brian Eno. Plus, he answers our usual questions, including those about the art he would like to live with and the rituals of studio life.Rudolf Stingel: Vineyard Paintings, Gagosian, Grosvenor Hill, London, until 20 September; Les yeux dans les yeux: portraits from the Pinault Collection, Couvent des Jacobins, Rennes, France, until 14 September Hosted on Acast.

This week, the girlies tackle rage bait: the content that's engineered to make you mad and keep you scrolling. From gutting historic homes to incendiary Republican rhetoric, they explore how anger became a content strategy and why we keep falling for it. They trace the long history of provocation, once a way to challenge power and now just another feature of your FYP, breaking down how rage bait works, who benefits from it, and why nothing feels shocking anymore. Digressions include the beauty of riding a train, knowing conservative content creators in real life, and the age-old question: does being a woman count as rage bait? We're going on tour!!!!

"To start with I was mostly interested in seeing if I could extract the typewriter and morse code sounds and use those rhythms to trigger snippets of Churchill's voice. I wanted to re-code the existing code and tried a variety of techniques including EQ, AI Stem Splitting, Gates, Envelope Followers, distortion and reverb.  "I started to make some overlapping rhythms with the morse code and typewriter sounds and then used a stem split version of Churchill's voice to refocus the piece and make it about his love of riding. I stretched and pitched his voice down 3 semitones to make it sound even fuller - and a bit funnier, and got into the humour of Churchill in a bowler hat riding on ponies around the grounds reminiscing about the war, and his regiment, whilst galloping along at high speed.  "Towards the end of the composition I reintroduced some of the history of the location with the train sound (referencing the 19th century aristocrat, Consuelo Vanderbilt, who married into the family and saved the palace from ruin with her own funds) and the sound of a toilet flushing (referencing the robbery, in September 2019, of an 18-carat gold toilet worth 4.8 million that had been installed by Maurizio Cattelan as part of his "Victory is not an option" exhibition)."

The Problem Is the Banana on the Wallby John Horvat IINovember 28, 2024The Problem Is the Banana on the WallEveryone has an explanation for the turn of events in November.It's the economy, the culture, a failure to connect with working-class Americans. All these are valid reasons.However, I have my own explanation that sheds some light on what has gone wrong in America. It explains something of the craziness of our times. I think the problem is the banana on the wall.I know it sounds exoteric, but let me explain. I think the banana metaphor will help clarify why some Americans reacted during the election.An Auction in New YorkMy reasoning centers on a recent event in New York City in which the renowned Sotheby's auction house sold a 2019 art piece dubbed “Comedian” by Maurizio Cattelan. The work consisted of a fresh banana duct-taped to the wall.The bidding started at $800,000, and within five minutes, the item sold for $5.2 million plus auction house fees, which came to a total of $6.2 million. The new owner is Chinese-born crypto-businessman Justin Sun.The actual banana cost thirty-five cents when bought in the morning at an Upper East Side fruit stand. The new owner will get a certificate of authenticity and installation instructions should he want to replace the banana before it rots. Mr. Sun has already announced that he will eat the original banana “as part of this unique artistic experience, honoring its place in both art history and popular culture.”Commenting after the sale, Billy Cox, a Miami art dealer with his own copy of “Comedian,” says the work is something of historical importance that comes only “once or twice a century.”The Elephant in the Room Is the Banana on the WallSomething is profoundly wrong here.That's why I think the problem with our country is the banana on the wall. It's the elephant in the room that no one wants to see.We are living in a society where certain liberal sectors inhabit an alternative reality where thirty-five-cent bananas are handled as multimillion-dollar works of art. The problem is that they want to force everyone else in society to believe their madness.The only way to get out of this mess is for innocent souls with enough common sense to break the spell of this absurd consensus by crying out, “It's not art! It's just a banana! Can't you see?”Insisting on AbsurditiesTo return to our original problem, what happened in November was a clash of two groups. The first are those who do not want to see the absurdity of the banana on the wall and dogmatize that it is art. They create their own reality and impose it on the nation.The second group consists of those tired of being told a banana taped to the wall is art. They long to live in a world where art is art and bananas are bananas.In the election, some of the latter group said, “Enough is enough.”Other Bananas on the WallThis reaction was not against a single banana on one wall.You see, there is the banana that claims a man is a woman and a woman is a man. Other bananas claim that people can choose their pronouns, pornography in libraries is literature or that it is just fine for men to compete with women in sports. We are told drag queen story hours are suitable for children, after-school Satan Clubs are educational and it is not a human baby but a clump of cells.It is all part of a vast banana extravaganza that we are asked to admire and make believe is the blueprint for a dream society. Sensible people are starting to do the unthinkable: Question the real value of these bananas of absurdity that appear on the walls of our wayward culture.An AwakeningThus, the election represents an awakening that comes none too soon. When absurdities are enshrined in a culture, anything can happen. Truth is denied, morals are eroded and a cult of ugliness reigns. The cruelest manifestations of intolerance and cancellation are possible since the absurd demands absolute acceptance. It cannot tolerate innocent souls that call a spade a spade and denounce the nonsense of the banana on the wall.The time has come for a return to order and sanity. It is long past time to take the bananas off the wall.

In this episode, we explore one of the most surreal and bizarre moments in the world of modern art. Back in 2019, a man made waves by purchasing an “art piece” —a banana taped to a wall—for a staggering $6.2 million. This controversial piece, created by artist Maurizio Cattelan, became a symbol of the absurdity and high stakes of contemporary art. But the story doesn't end there. Just a few days ago, the same man appeared at the Peninsula Hong Kong, one of the most luxurious hotels in China, to hold a press conference that left spectators speechless. His act? Eating the banana.Listen now to hear more about this strange art world moment.For more details on the hotel, check out Peninsula Hong Kong's website.Want to learn more about the infamous banana?

When I asked Bill Powers, owner of Half Gallery (who also happens to be an avid tennis player) what similarities could be drawn between the art world and the game, he replied "I guess sometimes people may pay more attention to their outfits than their backhand." Throughout our conversation, Bill Powers, the owner of Half Gallery, serves some keen insight from his many years in the Art World. Starting as a culture journalist  writing for magazines and esteemed publications like the New York Times, Powers pivoted to becoming a gallerist when the moment arose. "Why not me?", he thought. He now contributes to Muse, Purple and Autre magazines. He now has two books available through Junior Publishing, Glissando and Early 21st Century Art.  Alongside discussions about his career and gallery, we discuss the changing Art World and what the future holds. We chat about the shifting nature and relevancy of art criticism and the growing influence of market dynamics on artistic expression. From the recent spectacle of Maurizio Cattelan's "Comedian" at the recent Sotheby's auction to the disruptive force of NFTs, we try to untangle and understand how commercial success is reshaping taste and connoisseurship. Bill reflects on the delicate balance of business with creativity. His story is a compelling glimpse into the ways in which different aspects of the Art World converge.

In this episode, Ricardo reflects on the sale of Maurizio Cattelan's artwork The Comedian, a banana taped together with duct tape that cost US$6.2 million. He discusses three lessons that can be applied to projects: (1) the concept of value, highlighting that value resides in the exclusivity of the work, not in the physical object; (2) how communication can manipulate perceptions, exemplifying the media's distorted interpretation of the work; and (3) social responsibility in projects, criticizing actions that perpetuate inequalities. Ricardo concludes that project managers must balance efficiency with a positive societal impact. Listen to the podcast to know more.

Neste episódio, Ricardo reflete sobre a venda da obra de arte The Comedian, de Maurizio Cattelan, uma banana colada com fita adesiva que custou US$ 6,2 milhões. Ele analisa três lições aplicáveis a projetos: (1) o conceito de valor, destacando que o valor reside na exclusividade da obra, não no objeto físico; (2) como a comunicação pode manipular percepções, exemplificando com a interpretação distorcida da mídia sobre a obra; e (3) a responsabilidade social em projetos, criticando ações que perpetuam desigualdades. Ricardo conclui que gerentes de projetos devem equilibrar eficiência com impacto positivo na sociedade. Escute o podcast para saber mais.

Someone was willing to, as they shelled out $6.2 million for this exact art at a New York auction Wednesday. Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan debuted the piece, titled "Comedian," back in 2019, with viewers question the meaning it.

Maurizio Cattelan's Comedian (2019), the work featuring a banana stuck to a wall with grey duct tape, sold at Sotheby's in New York, on Wednesday for $5m or $6.2m with fees. But how did other works fare at this week's auctions in New York? Ben Luke talks to Ben Sutton, The Art Newspaper's editor, Americas, about the sales. Frank Auerbach, the painter who escaped the Holocaust and dedicated more than 70 years to creating portraits and cityscapes in London in raw, thick paint and expressive charcoal, has died. We speak to the curator of three of his most important exhibitions—and a model for Auerbach for more than 40 years—Catherine Lampert, about his work. And this episode's Work of the Week is Mzwandile at home after coming from the rehab center (2018), a photograph from Nyaope, a series by the South African photographer Lindokuhle Sobekwa. In the series he explored the devastating effect on his local community of a heroin-based drug, called nyaope. The work is part of the exhibition Heroin Falls, at the Sainsbury Centre in Norwich, UK, and I spoke to Lindo about the work.Heroin Falls, Sainsbury Centre, Norwich, UK, 23 November-27 April 2025 Hosted on Acast.

In Episode 362, artist, curator and recent PhD (from U.C. Santa Barbara) Maiza Hixson co-hosts this episode's OLD NEWS, featuring updates on: protests, including the case of #metoo being spray-painted onto Gustave Courbet's painting ‘Origin de monde,' and how the article had a correction stating that the image was of a vulva, rather than a vagina; the sentencing of a woman who was involved in the vandalism of a Degas sculpture in Washington, D.C.; the vandalism on the façade of the home of Brooklyn Museum director Ann Pasternak, and how these protesters are attempting to draw attention to the various corporate ties in the art world; protests and letters relating to the war in Gaza, and the very powerful people who are influencing university protests and various politics through corporate channels; the Kehinde Wiley controversy related to accusations of sexual assault made against him; the work of the Yes Men, and how it's not about disruption, it is disruption, as exemplified in a recent intervention at a fundraising event involving a new housing development; how Maurizio Cattelan's recent bullet-hole sculptures represent the insular culture of the art world; how Leonardo da Vinci was in the vanguard of eating, in that he was one of our early vegetarians; and whether we can qualify artists as being progressives, including taking a closer look at their carbon footprints; and the wide-ranging art and fandom of Miranda July.

It is the exhausted end of a jam-packed month of May, and we're staring into what promises to be a similarly jam-packed June. It's overwhelming to think about it all, but exciting to discuss some of the biggest stories of the last few weeks. That's right, it's time again for our monthly roundup, this month hosted by Artnet's national art critic Ben Davis, senior editor Kate Brown, and European news editor Margaret Carrigan. Based in Berlin, Germany, Kate recently visited the Marianna Simnett show at the Hamburger Bahnhof museum, which was commissioned to coincide with the 2024 European Football Championship, being hosted by Germany. Maggie, though based in London, traveled to New York for the Art Business Conference and took in Stanley Whitney's retrospective at the Buffalo AKG, where she suggests visitors pay a visit to Albert Bierstadt's The Marina Piccola, Capri, which was gifted to the institution by the artist himself in 1863. Finally, Ben recommends the project "Means of Production" organized by Lunch Hour, which brings together the work of 75 New York-based artists in a former hosiery factory in Red Hook, Brooklyn. First up on this edition is what may be the biggest story of recent weeks and maybe even all of recent auction history, that is the hack of Christie's website that spanned the all-important week of sales in New York, which continues on, and now features a countdown clock threatening to leak valuable client data. Next, the trio discusses a dispute between the artist Maurizio Cattelan and Anthony James over who owns the right to a specific art idea, which in this case is shooting a gun at a metal panel and presenting  it as a painting. And finally, we'll talk about the public's overwhelmingly critical outrage over recent portraits of British Royals, specifically King Charles and Princess Kate Middleton. Although they are the most recent instances, there is in fact a long history of unpopular royal portraits.
