This poster features an image of the iconic sculpture Comedian (2019) by Maurizio Cattelan.

An emblematic work from the exhibition on view at Serralves, it perfectly encapsulates the sharp humour and irreverence that define Cattelan’s universe — now available to bring a provocative touch to your space.

The exclusive Maurizio Cattelan x Serralves collection, developed for the exhibition Sussurro, brings the artist’s gesture into everyday life — to unsettle, provoke laughter, and spark reflection.

Like his visual aphorisms, these pieces embody the humour and irony that run through Cattelan’s artistic universe, with designs referencing some of his most iconic works, such as Comedian (2019) and L.O.V.E. (2010).

Inspired by the absurdity of the exhibition and by Cattelan’s fondness for seeing his images appear in everyday objects — in people’s homes and routines — this collection of t-shirts, tote bags, notebooks, caps and other accessories captures the irreverent tone and striking visual language that define both the exhibition and the artist himself.

Created by the Serralves Store in close collaboration with the artist, this collection of bold products, 100% made in Portugal, is a collectible extension of the Italian artist’s unsettling gaze on the world.

Maurizio Cattelan was born in Padua, Italy, in 1960. Since the early 1990s Maurizio Cattelan has been internationally recognized for his humorous and ironic works which provoke and challenge the limits of contemporary value systems. Maurizio Cattelan’s retrospective, Sussurro, will be showcased at the Serralves Villa, a 1930s Art Deco house. The exhibition brings together a selection of works deeply connected to history, reflecting Cattelan's approach to art. In addition to the pieces displayed in the Villa, sculptures by the artist will be installed throughout the Serralves Park. Together, these settings offer a unique contextualization of both Maurizio Cattelan´s work and of Serralves Park and Villa.

Most of the works selected for Sussurro demonstrate Maurizio Cattelan’s interest in History: historical changes, historical trauma, and historical icons. The times of transition, these in-betweens, seem to captivate Cattelan. The hanging, elusive moment between childhood and adulthood, between life and death, between historical eras, between laughter and sobs, is the source of his iconography. He turns these moments into icons.
