JEFF KOONS
The Château de Versailles will present the exhibition Jeff Koons at Versailles, which will be held from September 10th 2008, to December 14th, 2008 in the Royal Apartments and in the gardens of the Castle. This unique event will present seventeen Jeff Koons' works, including his most significant works from the Eighties to these days. Paris is no stranger to rows over modern additions to historic spaces, from Marc Chagall's fresco at the Opéra Garnier to the glass Pyramid at the Louvre, both now hailed as masterpieces.
The project focuses on the close relationship between each work and the space surrounding it. The works have been selected specifically for Les grands apartements at the piano nobile, composed by Les appartements du Roi (The King's apartments) and Les appartements de la Reine (The Queen's apartments), which formed a suite of several rooms en enfi lade. These large apartments are the most prestigious and important spaces of the Castle, since they were the official halls of the Sun King, composed as one of the richest expression of art and architecture.
