Artist Jeff Koons hasn't shown in a major exhibit in over 15 years. That all changed as his work is currently debuted at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago through September 21st. If there’s one artist today that bends the line between boldness and high art, it’s Jeff Koons. Yet it’s hard to resist the aesthetic party of his stainless steel blowups of toys and flowers, that infamous life-size ceramic of Michael Jackson and his pet chimpanzee, Bubbles or the provocative photos of Koons and ex-wife Ilona Staller, a former porn star and politician. Feast your eyes on an exclusive exhibit of his classics, selected by the Neo-pop artist himself. We took our first look at the exhibit during a private party on May 29th that began at the Museum of Contemporary Art and continued at the MCA Warehouse where over 200 serious art collectors took part in a private dinner with Koons.
