A special edition of issue 17 of of Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari's accessible image-based artists’ magazine that challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy, including a specially produced deck of playing cards.

Toiletpaper is an artists’ magazine created and produced by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, born out of a passion or obsession they both cultivate: images. Number 17 is powered by FPT. The magazine contains no text; each picture springs from an idea, often simple, and through a complex orchestration of people it becomes the materialization of the artists’ mental outbursts. Since the first issue, in June 2010, ‘Toiletpaper’ has created a world that displays ambiguous narratives and a troubling imagination. It combines the vernacular of commercial photography with twisted narrative tableaux and surrealistic imagery. The result is a publication that is itself a work of art, which, through its accessible form as a magazine, and through its wide distribution, challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy.

Limited to 1000 copies, this special edition of Toilet Paper 17 includes the magazine and a special Toilet Paper deck of 54 poker playing cards.
