Lampoon Magazine Maurizio Cattelan, Art isn't a detergent. It doesn't clean, it stains. Lampoon Soap issue 32 2025

Description

Editorial portrait of artist Maurizio Cattelan featuring a dramatic conceptual intervention for Lampoon Magazine, photographed by Alberto Zanetti. The subject stands against a dark, low-key background wearing a sharp dark grey suit and shirt. His face is partially obscured by an intricate tangle of dark wire mesh looping across his features. The lighting is moody and directional, casting subtle shadows that emphasize the texture of the wire and his expression. The image forms part of the project Art isn't a detergent in issue 32.
