Maurizio Cattelan, L.O.V.E., 2014

Maurizio Cattelan is a celebrated Italian artist who is renowned for facetious sculptures and installations that poke fun at popular culture, history, and religion in a manner that is at once irreverent and bitingly critical. The miniaturization of one of Cattelan's controversial public works, in these irreverent 'Snow Globe' and 'Music Box',  capture the artist's knack for black humor.

The original sculpture—officially titled L.O.V.E., an acronym of libertà (freedom), odio (hate), vendetta (revenge), and eternità (eternity) , 2010, but popularly known as "The Middle Finger"—was beautifully sculpted out of solid Carrara marble and displayed a stone’s throw from Borsa di commercio di Milano (Milan Stock Exchange).

Music Box - As the finger rotates on the tiny pedestal, it plays the familiar tune "Raindrops keep fallin' on my head."
