Jeff Koons is a celebrated artist, and while his artwork is well known, it’s never been seen like this. The Serpentine Gallery in London, UK is showing a collection of private and public pieces by the artist that include the use of inflatable toys, garbage bins and shiny underwear.
The work by Jeff Koons is a great (if not slightly eccentric) re-imagining of found objects. As an example--a chair, garbage bin, and inflatable lobster toy create one of the sculptures. Definitely not an exhibit for fine art lovers, the collection by Jeff Koons is wildly colorful and definitely whimsical.
