Jeff Koons - New York City, USA

Sculpture

A look up into the night sky from the hole in the middle of this glassed-in arcade, it is clear that it's late, it's late on this very important date. The hole descends as the looking glass ascends. The bottom is reflected in the top. Mr. Koons has said of this most iconic work that "it reflects the needs of culture and society and can represent so many different things to the viewer." In the looking glass or through it, step right up and jump into this circle with the hole in the middle and rise or fall into a wonderland of your own making. It's late, it's late on this very magnificent date.

Jeff Koons was born in York, Pennsylvania in 1955. He studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Koons' work has been exhibited internationally and is in numerous public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art (New York, NY). Koons is known for his public sculptures, such as the monumental floral sculptures Puppy, shown at Rockefeller Center and and Split-Rocker, exhibited at the Papal Palace in Avignon, France.
