Catt (2010)

A sculpture of a taxidermy cat in a cage, with a yellow bird perched on top.

 

 

Eva & Franco Mattes, Catt

 

 

It was initially exhibited in a gallery in Houston, Texas, as a new original work by Maurizio Cattelan – hence the title Catt – where it was met with great enthusiasm by the art world.

We later revealed that the work was not actually by Cattelan, but ours, and was based on a popular Epic Fail meme we found online.

As photos of our sculpture began circulating online, they inspired further variations, such as these:
