12. All at the Guggenheim Museum
 Exhibition brings together nearly all of the artist’s
work
 No wall labels to explain the different pieces of art
 Exhibition is purposely disrespectful: work is hung in
the rotunda of the Guggenheim like laundry
 Cattelan’s work can not be properly shown chronologically or
collectively.
 Exhibition has an undertone of death: it can be
viewed as a mass execution.
