Vieste, Jeff Koons' works land in Gargano in the San Felice tower

VIESTE - The works of Jeff Koons, one of the most iconic and influential artists of contemporary art, land on Gargano, in Vieste, in an event organized by the Municipality, in collaboration with Giuseppe Benvenuto. The exhibition will be hosted in Torre San Felice from June 14 to September 14 with the inauguration to be held on Thursday, June 12.

Thirty-two works including sculptures, ceramics and works on paper, coming directly from Koons' studio, explore the themes of desire, beauty, memory and consumption, through the unmistakable style that has established him as a true living legend of world art. The exhibition presents a selection of works from the most significant collections.

"This is - they say from the municipal administration - an event that brings to Puglia the revolutionary vision of an artist who has redefined the very concept of a work of art, blending pop aesthetics, cultured references and an extraordinary ability to communicate". "For over forty years, Jeff Koons has been one of the most discussed, loved and collected artists in the world. His works populate museums, biennials, squares and private collections, always arousing strong, never neutral reactions. His work crosses the boundaries between art and entertainment, craftsmanship and industry, spirituality and consumerism, with a powerful and immediate visual language - underlined the councilor for culture of the municipality of Vieste Graziamaria Starace - Bringing an exhibition of this caliber to Vieste means offering citizens and visitors a unique opportunity to engage with an absolute master of contemporaneity"
