"Betsy"
1999
Who put grandma in the fridge? Relax, it's only artwork by Italian mixed media artist Maurizio Cattelan, who's known for his life-size effigies and taxidermy work, as well as his absurdist "art scene jokes."
One of his most famous work, "La Nona Ora" or (The Ninth Hour") depicts Pope John Paul II lying on the ground after being struck by a meteorite:
