Errotin le vrai lapin
A large-scale photograph by Maurizio Cattelan depicts Emmanuel Perrotin, his gallerist, dressed in a cartoonish pink rabbit costume, reducing a powerful figure in the art world to a figure of absurdity and play. The work reflects Cattelan's signature use of humor and provocation to subvert authority and expose the constructed hierarchies of the contemporary art market. By casting Perrotin in this humiliating yet playful role, Cattelan blurs the line between collaboration and exploitation, loyalty and ridicule.
