Kangaroo Mirror Box by Jeff Koons
Kangaroo Mirror Box (Blue) is made of Polystyrene and Plexiglas in colors, 2003, including the DVD “JEFF KOONS / A Man of Trust,” with the artist’s incised signature and date, numbered 382/2000, with the original signed, dated and numbered box.
This kangaroo mirror box lays claim as physical allegory to the themes of desire, commerce, and lust, among others for a work that is simultaneously kitschy and self-reflective.

It was no obvious idea to include a work from Koons’s famous “Celebration Series” in an art print edition for a Football World Cup. This is probably why Jeff Koons liked it. The “Celebration Series” was begun in 1994 with the “Balloon Dog” sculptures. Koons later added Valentine hearts, diamonds, Easter eggs, tulips, and “Balloon Flower” sculptures. The series also includes sixteen oil paintings, one of which is the “Pink Bow”.
Jeff Koons was born in York, Pennsylvania in 1955. He studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He received a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 1976. Koons lives and works in New York City.
Since his first solo exhibition in 1980, Koons’s work has been shown in major galleries and institutions throughout the world. His Celebration sculptures were the subject of exhibitions on the rooftop of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and at the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin. Château de Versailles opened its doors to a living artist for the first time with Jeff Koons: Versailles, where a selection of his works were presented within the Grand Apartments. The Whitney Museum of American Art is presenting the most comprehensive survey of Koons’s career to date, Jeff Koons: A Retrospective (through October 19, 2014), which will also travel to the Pompidou Centre Paris in November, and to the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in June 2015.
