Jeff Koons on the Roof

Sculptures by American artist Jeff Koons (b. 1955) will comprise The Metropolitan Museum of Art's 2008 installation on The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden, opening April 29. The installation will feature several of the artist's meticulously crafted works, including a new piece conceived for this site, and will take place in the 10,000-square-foot open-air space that offers spectacular views of Central Park and the New York City skyline. Jeff Koons on the Roof will be the eleventh consecutive single-artist installation on the Cantor Roof Garden.

The exhibition is made possible by Bloomberg.

Additional support is provided by Cynthia Hazen Polsky and Leon B. Polsky.

Jeff Koons on the Roof will be organized by Gary Tinterow, Engelhard Curator in Charge, and Anne L. Strauss, Associate Curator, both in the Department of Nineteenth-Century, Modern, and Contemporary Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
