Published on the occasion of the exhibition of Jeff Koons’ in the Kings’ great apartments in Versailles, Jeff Koons Versailles is a course in the "landscape - territory" of Versailles. In it’s first part , the book follows the radical principle of the exhibition: a work, a room. The second part aims to stimulate thinking by proposing a confrontation between the castle’s room  where the work is exhibited and the work out of context.
 

Jeff Koons appeared on the international art scene in the 1980’s . He becomes the American reference . He likes to reinterpret objects as in " Puppy" , where a plaster dog is decked out with flowers. He uses rabbits, inflatable toys, balloons. His works, full of colors and images, are  inspired by the advertising and by the consumer society. He creates the famous sculptures of Michael Jackson and the Pink Panther. Considered the master of kitsch, Jeff Koons is close to the Dada movement and to Andy Warhol.

This entirely modern and attractive catalogue, whose « mirror » cover reflects the light, was published on the occasion of Jef Koons’ first personal exhibition in France, held at the gallery in 1997.
