New York gallery Venus Over Manhattan has created a suspenseful environment to present Maurizio Cattelan's latest show 'Cosa Nostra', conceived in direct response to his last major outing in 2011

尽管他在2012年的退休宣传颇多，但意大利艺术家莫里齐奥·卡泰伦(Maurizio Cattelan)远未消失。有几个古怪的合作正在进行中，如阿尔茨玩具纸，创造与摄影师皮尔保罗法拉利。现在，这位挑逗者又回到了画廊的聚光灯下，这要归功于“Cosa Nostra”，这是一场新在纽约开幕的艺术家作品的销售展览。展览地点有两个地方-位于曼哈顿上空的上东区画廊和苏富比拍卖行2-这些作品来自私人收藏，价格预计为3万美元，飙升至200万美元。

自2011年古根海姆回顾展以来，“科萨·诺斯特拉”(Cosa Nostra)被誉为这位艺术家作品中规模最大、最全面的展览，展示了卡泰兰最令人难忘的许多作品。这里有以动物为中心的创作，比如“无题的”骑着摩托手柄的牛角，以及意大利展馆启发的“图里斯特”(1997)，它可以看到遍布整个画廊的标本鸽子。这些更可耻的雕塑在各种有争议的情况下，与肯尼迪、希特勒和教皇的形象相像。这两个场馆都提供了一个难得的机会，让卡泰伦的名作成为现实。

曼哈顿上空的金星创造了一个悬空的环境，灵感来自马塞尔·杜尚的“门，11街拉雷”，以展示它的作品。这个空间被分成七个房间，漆黑的墙壁创造了神秘的空间，每个房间都包含着一块。这些作品可以通过不同木门内的门洞、窗户和钥匙孔看到，提高了作品中已经可以感受到的戏剧感。与此形成对比的是，在S\2的集合是在一个房间的内衬镜子放大扭曲的，超现实的性质，卡泰伦的作品。

观众可以看到纪录片“毛里齐奥·卡泰伦：电影”(Maurizio Cattelan：The Movie)的预告片，这部电影已经制作了15年。由莫拉·阿克塞尔罗德(Maura Axelrod)导演，他从2000年起就开始拍摄卡泰伦(Cattelan)，这幅艺术家的亲密画像以采访亲朋好友和独家档案镜头为特色，揭示了卡泰伦众多主题的个人起源。这部电影定于2015年夏天上映。

The space is split into seven rooms, with dark-painted walls creating mysterious chambers, each containing a single piece. Pictured is 'Now', 2004

The works are visible through portholes, windows and keyholes set within different wooden doors, heightening the sense of drama already palpable in the works

'Frank and Jamie', 2002

'Jean-Pierre', 1999

By contrast the collection at Sotheby's S|2 gallery is presented in a room lined with mirrors that magnify the twisted, surreal nature of Cattelan's oeuvre

There are animal-centric creations, like the 'Untitled' sitting cow (pictured) with motorcross handles for horns, and the Italian pavilion-inspired 'Turisti' (1997), which sees taxidermy pigeons scattered throughout the gallery

Touted as the largest and most comprehensive showing of the artist's work since his Guggenheim retrospective in 2011, 'Cosa Nostra' showcases many of Cattelan's most memorable pieces such as 'Untitled', 2007 (left) and 'Ave Maria', 2007 (right)

'Hollywood', 2001 (background) and 'La Nona Ora', 2003 (on table in foreground)

Both venues offer a rare chance to catch Cattelan's famous works in the flesh
