Koons will attend the opening ceremony. Born in 1955, he belongs to the generation of artists who continued the American pop-art tradition while embracing an aesthetics that took to extremes the culture of pop and consumerism. In the early ‘90s, Koons documented his conjugal life with Ilona Staller (Cicciolina), depicting domestic pornographic scenes in a series of photographs, statues and prints, in which compositions were based on religious and classical painting. A 1986 'Rabbit' sculpture by American pop artist Jeff Koons is on display in this image released by Christie's auction in New York, U.S., May 16, 2019.

  • Jeff Koons Alcanzó La Fama a Mediados De La Década De 1980
    Biografía Jeff Koons alcanzó la fama a mediados de la década de 1980, siendo miembro de una generación de artistas que exploraban el sentido del arte en una era saturada por los medios de comunicación y la consiguiente crisis de la representación. Basándose en el lenguaje visual de la publicidad, el marketing y la industria del ocio y con el propósito de "comunicarse con las masas", Koons puso a prueba los límites entre la cultura popular y la elitista. Sus elementos escultóricos incluyen aspiradores en cajas de plexiglás, balones de baloncesto flotando en peceras de cristal, figurillas de porcelana de Michael Jackson y la Pantera Rosa, y vidrieras con imágenes de sí mismo haciendo el amor con la que entonces era su esposa, Ilona Staller, conocida como Cicciolina (ex estrella de cine porno y ex diputada del parlamento italiano). Al continuar con el legado de las piezas de Marcel Duchamp, y al integrar referencias al Minimalismo y al Arte Pop, Koons presenta el arte como un producto de consumo que no se puede incluir dentro de la jerarquía de la estética convencional. Con Puppy, Koons aúna pasado y presente, pues emplea un sofisticado modelo de ordenador para crear una obra que hace referencia a un jardín clásico europeo del siglo XVIII. El West Highland terrier gigante completamente cubierto de plantas en flor emplea la iconografía más edulcorada —flores y perritos— en un monumento al sentimentalismo. Su imponente tamaño, firmemente contenido y, al mismo tiempo, aparentemente descontrolado (todavía creciendo, en sentido literal y figurado), y la yuxtaposición de referencias elitistas y de la cultura popular (el arte de esculpir arbustos y la cría de perros, cerámica decorativay tarjetas con mensajes de buenos deseos) se pueden interpretar como una analogía de la cultura contemporánea.

    Smithsonian June 19, 2015 GAGOSIAN GALLERY Shine On: Jeff Koons in Bilbao Frank Gehry's titanium-clad Guggenheim plays host to a stunning survey of Koons's larger- than-life career Stephanie Murg Artist Jeff Koons admires his Puppy (1992). Carpeted in colorful swaths of flowering plants, the 41-foot-tall Westie joined the Guggenheim Bilbao’s permanent collection in 1997 and stands in the square just outside the museum entrance. (Courtesy Guggenheim Bilbao) Swooping along a riverbank in Spain’s Basque Country, the titanium-clad Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is guarded by a giant, flower-covered West Highland white terrier, a breed the American Kennel Club describes as “exhibiting good showmanship” and “possessed with no small amount of self-esteem.” The same can be said of the canine’s creator, artist Jeff Koons, who recently reunited with the sculpture as the museum unveiled an exhibition that brings together nearly four decades’ worth of his diverse, yet unmistakable work. “With a work like Puppy, I hope that the public feels like they are participating in a Dionysian festival,” says Koons in his signature cadence: a honeyed, hypnotic lilt that is halfway between kindergarten teacher and cult leader. “And I hope that there are hints of that when you go through the exhibition. What I try to accomplish with my work is to have a dialogue on a grand scale—about internal life and the external world, how we can enrich our lives, how we can all participate in transcendence.” Surpassing expectations is also Bilbao’s claim to fame. The Guggenheim’s 1997 debut there, in its dazzling Frank Gehry-designed home, sent cities around the world scheming to replicate the culturally driven civic reinvention that was soon dubbed “the Bilbao effect” (in Bilbao, it is known as “the Guggenheim effect”).

  • Press Release
    Press release The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao presents on June 9, 2015 Jeff Koons: A Retrospective Sponsored by One of the hallmarks of the BBVA Foundation has always been its support for the advancement of knowledge and innovation, be it in basic and environmental sciences, cutting-edge technology, biomedicine, healthcare, the humanities, or general culture. Acting as a driving force of high-impact cultural activities is part of the strategic plan that the Foundation practices through long-term programs and with first-rate partners. Our collaboration as Strategic Trustee of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao fits within this context. This partnership, which dates back to the opening of the Museum eighteen years ago, has made it possible to organize exhibitions featuring major works of art that had never previously been shown in Spain. It has also made it possible to implement truly original approaches in exhibition concept and design. Today, we are proud to present the most important retrospective to date devoted to the celebrated contemporary artist Jeff Koons. After a world tour that included the Whitney Museum in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the retrospective is reaching port at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. Around a hundred pieces from Koons’s various artistic stages afford the public the opportunity to survey Koons’s career and the full scope of his work, which constitutes a personal reaffirmation of the artist. His oeuvre, whose diverse series from the 1970s up through the present day are displayed chronologically in the Museum’s galleries, is populated with art historical references, especially to Surrealism, Pop Art, and Dadaism.

  • Dossier De Prensa
    Dossier de prensa El Museo Guggenheim Bilbao presenta el 9 de junio de 2015 Jeff Koons: retrospectiva Patrocinada por El sello distintivo de la Fundación BBVA es el apoyo a la generación de conocimiento y a la innovación, ya sea en las ciencias básicas, el medio ambiente, las nuevas tecnologías, la biomedicina y la salud, las humanidades o la cultura. El impulso de acciones de amplio impacto en el área de Cultura es una de las líneas estratégicas que la Fundación BBVA desarrolla con socios de excelencia y en programas de largo recorrido. En este marco se inserta nuestra colaboración como Patrono Estratégico del Museo Guggenheim Bilbao, que se prolonga desde su inauguración hace dieciocho años, y ha permitido la organización de exposiciones que ponen al alcance del público obras nunca antes contempladas en España y enfoques verdaderamente originales en el concepto y diseño de las exhibiciones. En este caso nos complace presentar la retrospectiva más importante que se ha dedicado hasta la fecha al célebre artista contemporáneo Jeff Koons. El Museo Guggenheim Bilbao acoge ahora esta muestra, que recala en la ciudad vasca después de un periplo internacional, que la ha llevado antes al Whitney Museum de Nueva York y al Centre Pompidou de París. En torno a un centenar de piezas de las diferentes etapas creativas de Koons permitirán al público recorrer la trayectoria de este artista y el alcance de su trabajo, que constituye una reafirmación personal del propio autor. Las referencias a la historia del arte, especialmente a movimientos como el Surrealismo, el Pop Art y el Dadaísmo pueblan su obra, que se despliega en las salas del Museo siguiendo cronológicamente las distintas series que ha ido creando desde los años setenta hasta el presente.
