Standing thirty seven feet tall, Jeff Koons’s Split-Rocker merges the heads of two rocking horses—a pony that once belonged to the artist’s son and a dinosaur ↑

“Painted” with the colors of more than 45k drought-tolerant plants, this monumental artwork looks over Wilshire Boulevard, right next to our new David Geffen Galleries.

Here are my Balloon Venus sculptures, in honor of Mother’s Day, which emphasize fertility, love, and beauty. The works focus on the feminine form, engage with human history, and the connectivity of art that spans the history of humankind.

“Balloon Venus Lespugue (Orange)” is now on view at the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens, Greece, in dialogue with ten Paleolithic “Venus” figurines, through certified copies of the originals. The exhibition explores the female form from the Paleolithic era to contemporary art, proposing a dialogue that spans more than 40,000 years of human creativity. Happy Mother’s Day!

I am greatly saddened by the passing of Antonio Sonnabend Homem. Antonio was the Director of Sonnabend Gallery, whom I worked with over many decades. He was not only a close friend but a mentor that I will always profoundly miss.
 
I want to celebrate today two exhibitions that Antonio recently created. First the Sonnabend Collection Foundation exhibition in Mantova highlighting the profound impact that the vision of Ileana Sonnabend along with Antonio Homem have had on the development of late 20th and early 21st century contemporary art, held in the context of the Renaissance city, located in the town city court.
 
The second exhibition, created by Antonio with his son Phokion, is at The Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens where my Balloon Venus Lespugue (Orange) is presented in context with the collection of the Museum of Cycladic Art, along with models of the paleolithic Venuses, ranging from 40,000-20,000 yrs old, including the Lespugue Venus.
 
The exhibition deals with the embedding of meaning into objects throughout human history.
 
I never met a more cultured individual than Antonio. He was an incredible individual. He set an example how one could live one’s life in the exact manner that they desired to by paying attention to what was relevant to them in life and disregarding everything that was not. He maintained clarity, purpose, and found profound meaning in the arts and human history.

Νέα έκθεση “Jeff Koons: ‘Αφροδίτη’ του Lespugue”

Το Μουσείο Κυκλαδικής Τέχνης παρουσιάζει για πρώτη φορά στο κοινό το έργο “Balloon Venus Lespugue (Orange)” (2013-2019) του διεθνώς αναγνωρισμένου Αμερικανού καλλιτέχνη @jeffkoons από τη Συλλογή Homem Sonnabend.

Εξερευνώντας τη σημασία της μορφής της «Αφροδίτης» από την Παλαιολιθική εποχή μέχρι σήμερα, το έργο φιλοξενείται στο Μέγαρο Σταθάτου μαζί με 10 μουσειακά αντίγραφα ειδωλίων «Αφροδίτης» της Ανώτερης Παλαιολιθικής εποχής, θέτοντας το ερώτημα πώς η απεικόνιση της ανθρώπινης μορφής υπερβαίνει τον χρόνο και τον χώρο.

Για το συγκεκριμένο έργο, ο Koons εμπνέεται από την παλαιολιθική «Αφροδίτη του Lespugue», αγαλματίδιο από χαυλιόδοντα μαμούθ, το οποίο χρονολογείται περίπου 28.000 χρόνια πριν από την εποχή μας.

The Museum of Cycladic Art is pleased to present the first public display of Koons’ @jeffkoons “Balloon Venus Lespugue (Orange)” (2013-2019), part of the Homem Sonnabend Collection.

Exploring the significance of the ‘Venus’ figure from the Paleolithic period to the present, this work is displayed at the Museum’s Stathatos Mansion alongside ten certified museum copies of ‘Venus’ figurines from the Upper Paleolithic era, highlighting how the representation of the human form has transcended time and place.

Koons’ “Balloon Venus Lespugue (Orange)” draws inspiration from the prehistoric “Venus of Lespugue”, a mammoth tusk ivory figurine that dates back approximately 28,000 years.
