The Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens presents an exhibition by Jeff Koons titled Venus’ Lespugue. The exhibition opens on March 20, and will run through August 31.
The show is centered around Koons' Balloon Venus Lespugue (Orange) (2013-19) and is the first public display of the sculpture, which is on loan from the Homem Sonnabend Collection of Antonio Homem Sonnabend and Phokion Potamianos Homem.
Koons' Venus will be placed in dialogue with certified copies of ten Paleolithic Venus figurines found in major European museum collections.
