Paolo Schmidlin is cool. Paolo Schmidlin uses art to shock, which is even cooler. Paolo Schmidlin made a sculpture of the Pope in thigh high stockings, a stole, blonde bob, and panties, which has to automatically put him in the coolest of them all catergory. The Pope piece is called 'Miss Kitty.' It was banned for a while, I'm not sure if it's up anymore. The Catholics had a fit, they said it was “the vulgar offense against Christ’s vicar and the feelings of Roman Catholics.” It was prompted to be shown in Italy. Another one of Schmidlin's pieces I posted is called Statua Regina. I'm not sure who she is, but she looks pretty important. Sexuality and art meet again. These sculptures are so wrong that they are right.
