Photo Gallery Jeff Koons Does Ancient Greece
The US artist Jeff Koons, best known for his sexually explicit works featuring himself and his ex-wife, former porn star Cicciolina, currently has two major shows in Europe. Here he is seen in front of his work "Antiquity 3", part of his show in Frankfurt which opened Wednesday.
The Frankfurt exhibition highlights Koons' obsession with Greece and its ancient civilization. Here he poses with an ancient Greek sculpture in the Liebighaus museum in Frankfurt.
This work in Frankfurt's Schirn Kunsthalle juxtaposes a 1988 Koons piece "Woman in Tub" with a Renaissance altar relief.
This piece is called "Monkeys." Koons has made a career out of shocking middle America.
"Metallic Venus" (2012) is one of the new pieces on show in Frankfurt.
"Michael Jackson and Bubbles" is one of Koons' best known works.
Koons specializes in kitsch eroticism.
The piece is titled "Fait d'hiver."
Here Koons pays tribute to the cartoon character Popeye.
"Balloon Venus" is inspired by an ancient fertility statue.
