Paul McCarthy Pudding sculpture resembling red gelatin in a container on a plastic bag, mixed media, provocative consumerist theme.

// Pudding by Paul McCarthy, created in 1999, is a provocative sculpture that plays on themes of consumerism, humor, and discomfort. Made from mixed media, the piece resembles a container of red gelatin-like substance, placed on a plastic zip-lock bag. The simplicity of everyday materials evokes an unsettling sense of familiarity, yet also a grotesque fascination. McCarthy’s work frequently challenges societal norms and explores the boundary between humor and the grotesque, drawing viewers into a space of both attraction and repulsion. This editioned object, with a limited run of 100, reflects McCarthy’s ongoing critique of mass-produced culture and bodily associations.
