A series of conversations with Al-Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and people who have been part of Qatar’s architecture & culture development journey.
In this episode, Her Excellency hosts one of America's most influential artists, Jeff Koons.
Rising to prominence in the 1980s, he has explored luxury, spectacle and popular culture in works across media, including the world’s largest flower sculpture, Puppy (1992), installed at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and his monumental Inflatables series in mirror-polished stainless steel, represented in cities and collections worldwide.
Koons shares some insight into his career, including the early years in New York to the unveiling of his large-scale stainless-steel work, ‘Dugong”, 2020-2022, along the Corniche in Al Masrah Park, Doha. He also shares details about his 'Lost in America' exhibition that took place at Al Riwaq Gallery in Doha.
