Celebrating the first contemporary art exhibition in the palace, the book brings to life the progressive principle of the presentation: a work, a room. The pages include a complete map of the exhibition with a description of each room along with a biography and bibliography of Koons.
Having come to the spotlight of international art in the 1980s, Koons became the American artist of reference using themes from popular culture and everyday life including giant balloon animals made with stainless steel and a mirror-finish surface. He continues to draw inspiration from advertising and the consumer society as he creates his masterpieces full of colors and vibrant images. In the Versailles exhibition, Koons brings to life pop king Michael Jackson in an eye-catching sculpture painted in gold. The exhibit also includes a pot filled with colorful ceramic flowers against an intricate Versailles backdrop, and his signature enormous balloon animals. Each piece ties together modern culture and the victorian essence of Versailles, creating a beautiful contrast on each page.
