Milan, Cattelan's Finger is dyed with pink nail polish against violence against women

Maurizio Cattelan’s middle finger, L.O.V.E - Liberty Hate Vengeance Eternity, which has stood out since 2010 in front of the Stock Exchange in Milan ’s Piazza Affari has had apink-colored nail since Thursday night: it is the intervention by Milanese street artist and poet Ivan Tresoldi, which he renamed Love assai.

On the occasion of March 8, Women’s Day, Tresoldi wanted to reinterpret Cattelan’s famous white Carrara marble work by painting with a bright pink nail polish the nail of the raised middle finger to pay homage to the feminist movement Non una di meno and to SMS - Spazio di Mutuo Soccorso. Non una di meno is in fact an association that aims to combat violence against women.

On her Facebook profile, the author of the intervention wrote, accompanying the words with an image of the new work, "So that every man always remembers that if he is alive, he always and in any case owes it to a woman. l.o.v.e. assai, acrylic on marble, tonight, legitimate but illegal work.“ He adds, thanking Cattelan, ”Thanks also to Maurizio Cattelan for putting in the support, even though he knows nothing about it."
