DeBaser hosts a critical, skeptical review of Maurizio Cattelan focused on provocation and public reactions. The single review frames his work as deliberate provocation mixing black humor and PR. It questions the artistic meaning while acknowledging his notoriety. The review rates the work unfavorably and highlights public disturbance and debate. Cattelan is presented as a master of scandal rather than clear messaging.
