The king of pop is back. Jeff Koons, that is.
The largest retrospective ever of the work of contemporary art icon Jeff Koons opens on June 27 at New York City’s Whitney Museum of American Art. Koons is one of the most important influential, popular, and controversial artists of the postwar era. Throughout his career, he has pushed boundaries and expanded the limit of “art.” The exhibition is made up of more than 120 objects dating from 1978 to the present. The art work will be exhibited in a chronological narrative, which allows visitors to thoroughly understand Koons’s remarkably diverse output as a multifaceted whole.
“Jeff Koons: A Retrospective” is on show June 27 to Oct. 19. It is the final exhibition to take place there before the Museum opens its new building in the Meatpacking District in 2015. 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).
