Toiletpaper Fuses Together Style And Surrealism In Berlin Exhibition
Toiletpaper has a new exhibition on at Fotografiska Berlin
When Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan and designer Pierpaolo Ferrari co-founded Toiletpaper Magazine in 2010, they made waves in the art scene for their retro imagery.
The magazine, which started out as technicolor pages of strange images, was reminiscent of 1950s adverts seen through the lens of Salvador Dali or Man Ray.
Now, 15 years later, it has since expanded into a fashion line and home brand with a very Instagrammable hotel in Milan called Toiletpaper Living, when they're not showing their photos at museums.
While Cattelan is known for his viral banana artwork, which was taped to a wall and sold for $6.2 million at auction in 2024, Ferrari is a fashion photographer known for his vintage aesthetic, and has shot magazine covers for Vanity Fair and The Cut, as well as editorials for Thom Browne in the New Yorker.

The duo recently opened their latest exhibition, ToiletFotoPaperGrafiska, at Fotografiska Berlin. The exhibition runs until August 31, making it the perfect, fun summer photo exhibition to visit while in Europe (it previously showed at Fotografiska Stockholm).
The exhibition features photos from the past 15 years, including photos, mirrored images and more. As Ferrari said in a statement: 'We always strive to break away from the usual conventions and create a raw and personal dialogue between the viewer and the art.'
Cattelan adds: 'It's like being invited to the best party of your life, where everyone is wildly intoxicated and you're the only sober person in the room.'

Some images include taxidermy birds, persian cats, velvet couches and toothpaste. This duo are not afraid to get weird and take us to very strange places in their photos.
Toiletpaper's clothing line is worth checking out, especially their snake-patterned pajama sets, their polka-dotted socks or their bold beach towels. Also check out their collaboration with eyewear brand, Etina Barcelona. If you truly want to stand out, this is where to shop.

(AP Photo/Luca Bruno) MILAN (AP) — Former Inter Milan club president Ernesto Pellegrini has died on the day the team plays the Champions League final. He was 84. 'Pellegrini has left us. For 11 years he led Inter with wisdom, honor and determination, leaving an indelible imprint in the history of our club,' Inter said on its website on Saturday, hours before the team plays Paris Saint-Germain to be European champion. Advertisement Pellegrini was born in Milan in 1940. Italian media reported he suffered from a lung infection. Pellegrini, who made his money in catering and services, was the 17th president of the club from 1984-95. Inter won Serie A in 1989 and twice won the UEFA Cup during his time. He brought German players Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Lothar Matthäus, Andreas Brehme, and Jürgen Klinsmann to the team, before selling his shares in the club to Massimo Moratti in 1995. ___ AP soccer:

Sinner drops only three games in ruthless win
Jannik Sinner is looking to win his first French Open title [Getty Images] French Open 2025 Dates: 25 May-8 June Venue: Roland Garros Coverage: Live radio commentaries across 5 Live Sport and BBC Sounds, plus live text commentaries on the BBC Sport website and app Jannik Sinner dropped only three games in a ruthless performance as he crushed Jiri Lehecka to reach the French Open fourth round. The Italian top seed blew the Czech world number 34 away inside one hour and 35 minutes with a 6-0 6-1 6-2 victory. Advertisement Sinner won 11 games in a row to start the match, dropped only nine points on serve and hit 31 winners to nine unforced errors in a classy performance. The win extended Sinner's winning streak against players ranked outside the top 20 to 64 successive matches. "After today I don't think there's much I can improve but every opponent is different," three-time major champion Sinner said. "This morning I said to my team I'm feeling well and physically ready. We had to go hard in the beginning because the beginning is very important for confidence." Sinner, bidding for a first French Open title, will play 17th seed Andrey Rublev for a place in the quarter-finals. Advertisement Russia's Rublev advanced when France's Arthur Fils withdrew before their match with injury. Sinner has won the past two Grand Slams, triumphing on the US Open and Australian Open hard courts, and his merciless dismantling of Lehecka underlined his status as the man to beat. The Italian controlled the action from the baseline and showed great athleticism as he moved around the court. Sinner started on the front foot, making just one unforced error in a 23-minute first set. Lehecka finally got on the board for 3-1 in the second set - and was greeted by huge cheers from the crowd on Court Suzanne Lenglen. Advertisement Lehecka, who remained in good spirits despite the scoreline, responded by smiling and raising both arms in the air in celebration. It was a rare moment of joy for Lehecka, who only won two more games as Sinner continued his sprint towards the finish line, stamping his authority on the performance with an emphatic serve and volley on match point. Elsewhere, third seed Alexander Zverev saw off unseeded Italian Flavio Cobolli in straight sets to reach the fourth round. Last year's finalist Zverev won 6-2 7-6 (7-4) 6-1 as he continues his bid for a maiden Grand Slam title. Zverev will face unseeded Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor next after he beat American Ethan Quinn 4-6 6-1 6-7 (2-7) 6-1 6-4. Advertisement
