New York: David Zwirner, 2014. A near-fine copy with a few minor bumps on spine. 13 x 10 inches. 80 pages. Original boards. First edition. "Jeff Koons: Gazing Ball--the first catalogue on the artist's work to be published by David Zwirner--was produced on the occasion of the major 2013 exhibition at the gallery in New York, which marked the world debut of his Gazing Ball series, a brand new body of work that occupies an important place in the trajectory of his practice. Conceptually derived from the mirrored ornaments encountered on many suburban lawns, including those of Koons's childhood hometown in rural Pennsylvania, every sculpture is anchored by a blue "gazing ball" of hand-blown glass. These are situated atop large, white-plaster sculptures that have been alternately modeled after iconic works from the Greco-Roman era, including the Farnese Hercules and the Esquiline Venus, or after such quotidian objects from the contemporary residential landscape as a rustic mailbox, a birdbath, and an inflatable garden snowman.
Created in close collaboration with Koons, this elegant publication echoes the classic design of a 1970 Picasso catalogue that the artist admires. Inside, vivid color plates of the sculptures in situ capture the stark contrast between the pristine whiteness of the plaster and the highly reflective spheres. In their perfect contours and smooth, glistening surfaces, the gazing balls implicate audience as well as context--mirroring both and offering playful yet powerful meditations on the dialogue between gaze and reflection. "While all of the sculptures are grounded in their own distinct narratives, derived from Art History and suburban towns," writes Francesco Bonami in his catalogue essay, "the seemingly fragile and delicate gazing ball establishes that sense of uncertain equilibrium that exists between history and fantasy, magic and materiality, mass culture and exclusive beauty" (the publisher).
