The Plying Of Lot 52

This is pretty awesome. Or it was, for the second there when I first saw the thumbnail in the lot list and thought Maurizio was channeling Baldessari or Prince or whomever.

this lot is of a challenging nature. those of a delicate sensibility may with not to view it. click here if you still wish to view this lot.

It'd still make a nice painting, though. And it does make you wonder about all the other lots.

Lot 52, Sale 7990, London, King Street
Maurizio Cattelan (b. 1960)
Untitled
est. £900,000 - £1,200,000 [christies]

UPDATE: Hmm, GalleristNY discovered the exact same image--that's been online for over a month--and made the exact same Baldessari comment just thirty minutes after I posted it. Great minds.

UPDATE UPDATE Hah, "This lot is of a challenging nature and hanging over the bar at our Vanity Fair party. With a spotlight on it."
