The Jeff Koons: Gazing Ball catalogue is an extensive and curated publication dedicated to Jeff Koons’ Gazing Ball series, presented by the David Zwirner Gallery. In this series, classical sculptural models and emblematic figures from art history are combined with Koons’ characteristic blue glass spheres, which function as mirrors that integrate the viewer into the work itself. Through this gesture, the artist explores issues of reflection, participation and historical continuity. The publication includes rich photographic material of the works, as well as critical essays and analyses that illuminate the conception and realization of the series, highlighting the dialogue between past and present that runs through Koons’ thinking.
