JEFF KOONS
OCEANA
Seated Ballerina, 2010 – 2015

83″ x 78 5/8″ x 44 11/16″
Seated Ballerina, a larger-than-life sculpture by celebrated American artist Jeff Koons, is permanently on display at Oceana’s beachside gardens. A fan of working with readymade objects, Koons reimagined Seated Ballerina from a porcelain figurine of a ballerina found in a Russian factory at the turn of the 20th century. The sculpture is from Jeff Koons’s Antiquity series, which began in 2008.
Pluto & Prosperina, 2010 – 2013
Mirror-polished stainless steel with transparent color coating and live flowering plants
129″ x 65 3/4″ x 56 5/8″ (327.7 x 167 x 143.8 cm)
The piece is part of Jeff Koons’s acclaimed Antiquity series and is based off a porcelain sculpture of Pluto and Proserpina from the late 1700s in France. The artist embellished the sculpture with live flowering plants, emphasizing the relationship between life and art.
