Guggenheim Museum, New York City 2012Maurizio Cattelan’s “Some” Coloring book
Maurizio Cattelan : Some : Coloring and Activity Book
is a specific, limited-edition publication from 2011, created to accompany the artist's unique retrospective exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum, and it is primarily a collector's item today.
Publication Details and Concept
The coloring book was published by the Guggenheim Museum in 2011 as an ephemeral item in conjunction with the exhibition Maurizio Cattelan: All.
Content: The book is a black-and-white, staple-bound activity book portraying installation views of the exhibition in a coloring book style. The illustrations were created by Peter Raphael Castro a few from Chad Kloepfer.
Exhibition Context: The All exhibition was a retrospective featuring virtually every work Cattelan had produced since 1989, all of which were suspended by ropes from the oculus of the museum's rotunda, creating a single, massive installation that resisted the traditional linear format. The coloring book captures this unique, unconventional display in a playful format.
Physical Specs: It has 32 pages and measures approximately 26.7 x 20.3 cm (10.5 x 8 inches).
