Mirrored surfaces, bright colors and massive scale: artist Jeff Koons considers the meaning behind his work, speaking from the retrospective exhibition Jeff Koons: Lost in America in Doha. He reveals the surprising ways that everyday objects can reflect the potential within us all. Learn more here.
“Art, for me, has always been a vehicle. Something that I’ve always been able to get lost in, something I’ve been able to create a reality out of and lean on during difficult times.”
Curator Massimiliano Gioni leads viewers on an exclusive walkthrough of Jeff Koons: Lost in America. Gioni explores how the exhibition acts both as a portrait of America and as an autobiographical portrait of Koons himself. He shares the process behind the creation of the works and explores thematic threads of childhood, value, innovation and the everyday.
