Jeff Koons: Works 1979 - 1988 is conceived in close collaboration with the artist to create a carefully selected survey focusing on his most iconic sculptural works. The MCA presented Koons’s first American survey in 1988, before he began his often controversial series of works in porcelain.

Since 1979 Koons has been making art that provokes thought. His work addresses major social issues such as class roles and consumerism. Simultaneously his art expresses very personal and individual concerns about confinement, life, and death.
