Surface and Reflection (Echard Schneider, 2001) P.17-21
- P.17 Hardly another contemporary artist believes so strongly in the power of the surfaces as a reflection of the universal and of our world. This enthusiasm for the reflective power of materials and the play of light have from the very beginning been the ingredients in the seductive potion which makes up the aesthetic sensations of Koons's work.
- (Eastfun in November 1999, the Sonnabend Gallery in New York.) At that time, it consisted of eleven mirrors and three paintings. The mirrors showed flat forms of three-dimensional animal figures -for example, monkey, elephant, bear, kangaroo, and others. Each mirror figure is a different color, and their brilliant construction of crystal, mirror, coloured plastic, and stainless steel make them appear strangely artificial while they, at the same time, emanate (散發) optimism and the calming simplicity of children's toy.
