Description: Jeff Koons In Florence' highlights the phenomenological dialogue that emerges from an unprecedented union of new icons by the Contemporary artist with masterpieces by Donatello and Michelangelo. For the first time in five hundred years, a sculpture by a Contemporary artist has been placed on the raised podium in front of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, among the copies of Michelangelo?s 'David' other illustrious statues. This catalogue illustrates this historic happening with images of Koons?s monumental sculpture 'Pluto and Proserpina' set in the incomparable setting of Piazza della Signoria. The journey continues inside the Palazzo Vecchio, as Koons?s 'Gazing Ball' ('Barberini Faun') graces the Sala dei Gigli, its striking pose opposite the magnificent original bronze statue of 'Judith and Holofernes' by Donatello. 00Exhibition: Palazzo Vecchio / Piazza della Signoria, Florence, Italy (24.09.2015-15.01.2016).
