Overview
In this catalogue Koons presents paintings and sculptures from his Popeye series, which he began in 2002. The works incorporate some of Koons' signature ideas and motifs, including surreal combinations of everyday objects, cartoon imagery, art-historical references and children's toys. Those typically used by children in a swimming pool are cast in aluminium, their surfaces painted to bear an uncanny resemblance to the original objects. He juxtaposes these replica readymades with unaltered everyday objects, such as chairs or rubbish bins. The paintings are complex and layered compositions that combine disparate images both found and created by Koons, including images of the sculptures in the series. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Jeff Koons: Popeye Series at Serpentine Gallery, London, 2 July ndash; 13 September 2009. English text.
