Jeff Koons is widely regarded as one of the most important, influential,
popular, and controversial artists of the postwar era. Throughout his
career, he has pioneered new approaches to the readymade, tested the
boundaries between advanced art and mass culture, challenged the limits
of industrial fabrication, and transformed the relationship of artists
to the cult of celebrity and the global market. Koons also worked with Lady Gaga on her 2013 studio album Artpop, including the creation of its cover artwork featuring a sculpture he made of Lady Gaga.
The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York presents until the 19th October 2014 first Koons' retrospective surveying the full scope of his career. Comprising almost 150 objects
dating from 1978 to the present, this exhibition is the most
comprehensive ever devoted to the artist’s groundbreaking oeuvre. By
reconstituting all of his most iconic works and significant series in a
chronological narrative, the retrospective will allow visitors to
understand Koons’ remarkably diverse output as a multifaceted whole.
The exhibition travels to the Centre Pompidou, Musée national d’art
moderne, Paris (November 26, 2014–April 27, 2015) and to the Guggenheim
Bilbao (June 5–September 27, 2015).
A fantastic and truly controversial show from 27th June until 19th October in the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY.
