Jeff Koons
Museum of Contemporary Art MCA, Chicago
His works, with their seductive surfaces and flawless execution, transform everyday objects and fantasies into high art. The exhibition is a carefully selected survey focusing on his most iconic sculptural works; additional new paintings will also be included. The MCA presented Koons's first American survey in 1988, before he began his often controversial series of works in porcelain. Curated by Francesco Bonami.

The major contemporary artist-provocateur Jeff Koons is one of the most well-known and intriguing artists of the 20th century. His works, with their seductive surfaces and flawless execution, transform everyday objects and fantasies into high art. The artist is working closely with the MCA to create a carefully selected survey focusing on his most iconic sculptural works. The MCA presented Koons's first American survey in 1988, before he began his often controversial series of works in porcelain. It is fitting for the MCA to revisit the career of this now-seminal figure in contemporary art and to explore his work's significance for a new generation.
Many of the works to be included in the exhibition will come from the MCA's own collection with in-depth concentrations of Koons' work. Additional new paintings by Koons will also be included. Jeff Koons is developed as a unique presentation for Chicago, which will be its only venue. The exhibition is guest curated by Francesco Bonami and will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated catalogue.
