Jeff Koons is one of the world’s best-known living artists. The Beyeler Foundation exhibition focuses on three central series of his work: The New, Banality and Celebration. All represent crucial stages in the artist’s development.

They also reflect his belief that art is accessible to everyone. Some common themes include innocence, beauty, sexuality and happiness.

The exhibition runs from May 13 until September 2, 2012.
