Art Basel Miami Beach Bestseller: Maurizio Cattelan: Toilet Paper

“As we proceeded, my master was astonished at the capriciousness of my mind, and he relaxed somewhat of his former assiduity which made me a little angry with him; he smiled, but has since told me, it arose from the best of intentions, being fearful that he might nip in the bud that which one day would bloom, and become the rarest flower in creation.” Featured image, by Maurizio Cattelan, is reproduced from Freedman Damiani's brand new compendium of the artist's magazine, Toilet Paper, already one of our best-selling Holiday Gift Books and a favorite title at both Design Miami and Art Basel Miami Beach, which opened this week.
