Jeff Koon's Quirky Pool Toys Get Transformed Into High Art

Pool toys as high art? I wouldn’t have thought it possible until I caught a glimpse Jeff Koon’s work. This artist may be a little off kilter, but as a result, his work is very fun-loving.

Jeff Koon’s first solo show in Britain is at the Serpentine Gallery and opens on July 2, 2009. The exhibition runs until September 13, 2009 so be sure to check it out if you are around. In the meantime, check out his kooky art above.
