Toiletpaper Vol.3 June 2011

Toilet Paper is Maurizio Cattelan’s newest print enterprise, brought to you straight from the aberrant, animated mind of this Italian-born provocateur, mischief-maker and macabre witness to our times. “Maurizio Cattelan’s latest publication, Toilet Paper, follows his previous periodicals, Permanent Food and Charley, with what appears to be a slim folio of appropriated photographs. […] TP contains no text, only a series of double-page spreads reminiscent of Permanent Food’s wildly unpredictable mash-up of styles,” says Vince Aletti in Photograph Magazine. Conceived in collaboration with photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari and published by Deste, Toilet Paper 3 was inspired by Robert Rauschenberg and Thomas Hirschhorn, and features a series of powerful visual tableaux that are as appropriate for the coffee table as they are for the WC.
