Jeff Koons: Popeye Series, 2 July – 13 September 2009
The Serpentine Gallery presents the first survey of a key series of works by the celebrated American artist Jeff Koons. The Popeye Series incorporates ideas that are central to the artist’s work, including surreal combinations of everyday objects, art historical references and children’s toys. The paintings in the Popeye Series combine disparate found images with images of the inflatables and readymades used in the sculptures, while the sculptures themselves continue Koons’s interest in juxtaposing cast aluminium exact replicas of inflatable pool toys with other readymade objects.
