Jeff Koons: Popeye Series

Serpentine Gallery
London, England


Thursday 02-Jul-2009 - Sunday 13-Sep-2009

A series of works by the American artist Jeff Koons. Working in thematic series since the early 1980s, Koons has explored notions of consumerism, taste, banality, childhood and sexuality. The Popeye Series incorporates surreal combinations of everyday objects, art historical references and children’s toys. They feature disparate found images with images of the inflatables and readymades used in the sculptures, while the sculptures themselves continue Koons’s interest in juxtaposing cast aluminium exact replicas of inflatable pool toys with other readymade objects.
