A solo exhibition of Jeff Koons, one of the world’s most famous, popular and controversial artists, will open on March 10 at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. Koons will attend the opening ceremony.
Born in 1955, he belongs to the generation of artists who continued the American pop-art tradition while embracing an aesthetics that took to extremes the culture of pop and consumerism. In the early ‘90s, Koons documented his conjugal life with Ilona Staller (Cicciolina), depicting domestic pornographic scenes in a series of photographs, statues and prints, in which compositions were based on religious and classical painting.
