Koons Ruins
Solo exhibition opens at New Museum Los Gatos (NUMU)
July 8 – November 27, 2022
Koons Ruins is a satirical, mock museum exhibition that pokes fun at the patriarchal art world and its wonky value systems. Imagine an art collector who buys Jeff Koons sculptures, sequesters them on her estate, and subjects them to accelerated degradation. When she passes away, her estate is open to the public as “Koons Ruins.”
All artworks in the show, oil paintings, prints, and a peephole diorama (!), were created by Kathy Aoki.
