Untitled (Picasso)

Maurizio Cattelan L.O.V.E. concrete sculpture of classical hand on pedestal with raised middle finger, minimalist and satirical.

Concrete sculpture. Stamped by the artist's estate. L.O.V.E. by Maurizio Cattelan, produced in 2015, is a concrete sculpture measuring 40 × 18 × 18 cm, part of an edition of 1800. A scaled-down replica of his controversial Milan monument, the work features a classical hand with all fingers severed except the middle—flipping the viewer off in a bold, confrontational gesture. The title, an acronym ambiguously interpreted, contrasts sharply with the sculpture's provocative message. Cattelan's piece critiques authority, finance, and institutional power, using minimalist form and biting satire to question reverence and monumentality in public art.

What is conceptual art?

Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
