Jeff Koons will present his first solo show at Gagosian in seven years, titled “Porcelain Series,” opening November 13 at the gallery’s 541 West 24th Street location. The exhibition features new and recent sculptures and paintings that explore beauty and mythology, including mirror-polished stainless steel figurines modeled on 18th- to early-20th-century porcelain and oil paintings incorporating historical engravings. Koons, who left Gagosian in 2021 for Pace and returned in 2025, debuted new work at Frieze New York in May.
The show marks a significant moment for Koons, whose market has cooled since his record-breaking sale of *Rabbit* (1986). His brief, reportedly turbulent tenure at Pace involved tens of millions in investor-backed production costs, as detailed by Kenny Schachter. The exhibition tests whether Koons can regain his commercial and critical standing, with collectors and dealers reportedly working to revive his market. It also underscores Gagosian’s continued commitment to a marquee artist who has cycled through major galleries.
