About the artwork
Using the contours of a kangaroo, Jeff Koons works on reflection and image in a pop aesthetic. This work is part of a boxed set comprising this mirror and a DVD of the documentary "Jeff Koons, a man you can trust". Both the glossy, reflective material and the concept make this a multi-faceted work that blurs the boundary between art and consumer product.
Expert opinion
This work is representative of Jeff Koons' approach, in particular the "Banality" series he began in 1988, in which he invested popular culture icons.
About the artist
Jeff Koons, American artist born in 1955. Lives and works in New York (USA). With a father who was an interior decorator, Jeff Koons grew up in an artistic environment and studied at the Chicago School of Fine Arts. Alongside his work as a trader, he developed his artistic practice in a kitsch style borrowed from popular culture. Following in the footsteps of Marcel Duchamp and Andy Warhol, the objects Jeff Koons conjures up go beyond the serial stage to become veritable icons. Inflatable Rabbit is a prime example. Celebrated and collected worldwide, Jeff Koons exhibited at the Château de Versailles (France) in 2008 and at the Fondation Beyeler (Basel, Switzerland) in 2012. A retrospective of his work was organized in 2014 at the Centre Pompidou (Paris, France).
