Jeff Koons: A Retrospective

The publication “Jeff Koons: A Retrospective” is the most inclusive monograph on the artist’s work, accompanying the large retrospective exhibition that was initially presented at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 2014 and then traveled to major European museums.

The publication examines more than 35 years of creation in depth, presenting iconic series such as The New, Banality, Made in Heaven, Celebration and Popeye. Through extensive photographic material, analytical essays and archival material, the evolution of his artistic language and the exploration of issues such as consumer culture, the concept of kitsch, desire, celebrity and the relationship between art and the market are reflected.

Featuring a central essay by curator Scott Rothkopf alongside contributions from leading theorists and writers, the volume presents a contemporary and critical perspective on Koons’ multifaceted practice, establishing itself as an essential reference for scholars, collectors, and enthusiasts of contemporary art.
