Jeff Koons: A Retrospective explores the work of one of the most eminent figures in the art of our time. This chronological presentation of Koons’ artistic output has been organized by New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art, in collaboration with the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and the Centre National d’Art et de culture Georges Pompidou, Paris
Rejecting the aura of inaccessibility that surrounds other contemporary works of art, Koons’ creations appeal to a broad public while drawing on countless art historical sources, such as Surrealism, Pop Art and Dadaism.
The exhibition’s Spanish debut will provide a comprehensive survey of the artist’s work, which speaks to us of self-acceptance, appreciation of the world around us, and the affirmation of being through art. It is an exhortation to live in this world as though it were our first day on the earth.
