This work has been made especially for the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford to accompany the major exhibition this Spring 2019. For this print, Jeff Koons returns to flowers, an image he has referred to and used in earlier works. A symbol of optimism for Koons, he believes the image delivers tremendous energy.
From the moment he burst onto the scene with floating basket balls and ready-made objects to his recent re-working of classical statues and Old Master paintings, Jeff Koons has, at turns, delighted, shocked and intrigued his viewers.
The exhibition at the Ashmolean continues until the 9th June.
