In this incisive essay, critic Philippa Snow examines the intersection of fame and fine art, exploring how contemporary figures are transformed into aesthetic commodities. Through case studies of works by Maurizio Cattelan, Richard Phillips, and Urs Fischer, the text interrogates the power dynamics between the collector, the artist, and the celebrity muse. Snow probes the commodification of the human form, questioning the status of the celebrity as both a living subject and a static art object.
