About this deal

In 2019, Netflix added a body to the middle finger for its launch of the 3rd season of Money Heist. It surprised over 5,000 enthusiastic fans who gathered in front of the statue. The Giant Middle Finger is a controversial and provocative sculpture that has become an important symbol of protest and resistance in the modern world. The sculpture has sparked debate and controversy, but it has also inspired people to engage with the world around them and fight for their beliefs. The sculpture is a reminder of the power of art to challenge our assumptions and beliefs and to inspire us to think differently about the world. You’re having a pleasant stroll around the old and elegant streets of Milan. Then, suddenly you see it.

The Giant Middle Finger is a sculpture in Piazza Affari in Milan, Italy. The monument was created by the Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan and unveiled in 2010. The sculpture consists of a giant hand with the middle finger extended, standing 36 feet (11 meters) tall. Meaning of the Giant Middle Finger This sculpture was presented in 2010, for a retrospective exhibition of the artist at the Palazzo Reale (Royal Palace of Milan), which is located a few hundred meters from Piazza della Bolsa.Maurizio Cattelan next to one of his sculptures.

It's a precursor to language both in development and in the history of our species. Gestures has a very direct connection to our emotions,” said Bergen. “When you are in a direct confrontation with someone, you do things physically to send a signal of what's going to happen next—what you want to convey to the person." Has the Giant Middle Finger sculpture inspired any other artists or activists? Yes, the Giant Middle Finger sculpture has inspired many other artists and activists to use art as a way to express their views and challenge the status quo. The sculpture has inspired other works of art, such as the "Up Yours!" sculpture by British artist Anish Kapoor, which is a similar giant hand gesture but with the palm facing upwards. Conclusion Look more closely at L.O.V.E. and you’ll see that the other fingers around the middle one are not folded down but are chopped off. Had all fingers been on the sculpture, it would have resembled an open-palm fascist salute. L.O.V.E. stands directly in front of Palazzo Mezzanotte, which was built during the time of Mussolini. Along with Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst, Cattelan is one of the most collected contemporary artists of all time, and like them, he sometimes installs monumental sculptures on the public domain: so, what's this finger business? A controversial sculpture For the Robert Indiana sculpture, see Love (image). For the Alexander Milov sculpture, see Love (Milov sculpture).The choice of the middle finger as a symbol reflects his rebellious attitude towards society and the art world. Cattelan has described the sculpture as a "mirror of society". Why "L.O.V.E"? The artist explains that each of the letters must be taken separately, then considered as a whole: L for Liberta (freedom), O for Odio (hate), V for Vendetta (revenge), and E for Eternita (eternity). The sculpture's unveiling in 2010 caused a stir in Milan and around the world. Some people were amused by the monument's irreverent and humorous message, while others were outraged by the sculpture's perceived vulgarity and disrespect. The sculpture became a lightning rod for political and social commentary, and it was not uncommon to see people taking selfies in front of the sculpture while others protested the artwork. Charlatan for some, genius for others: this troublemaker of contemporary art handles irony to perfection, and masters like no other the art of pushing the limits. With an assumed trash humor, Maurizio Cattelan knows how to put the finger where it hurts: he places us next to our fears, our taboos, our uncertainties. He seeks above all to make us uncomfortable, and it is often successful. The Giant Middle Finger has become a symbol of resistance and defiance in the modern world. It has inspired a new generation of artists and activists to challenge the status quo and fight for their beliefs. The sculpture has also become a viral sensation on social media, where it has been shared and discussed by millions of people around the world.
