Jeff Koons – Sacred Heart (Red/Gold)

2008  

This striking large photograph features Sacred Heart (Red/Gold), one of Jeff Koons’ most iconic sculptures, famously exhibited in Jeff Koons on the Roof at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, in 2008.

This original photograph was taken at this exposition, and afterwards signed and dated by Koons (10/29/08).

The image depicts a gleaming, high-chromium stainless steel heart with a transparent red coating, elegantly bound with a gold ribbon. This monumental sculpture is part of Koons’ celebrated Celebration series — a body of work exploring themes of childhood wonder, romantic idealism, and the allure of luxury objects.

With its mirror-like surface and monumental scale, Sacred Heart invites both personal reflection and cultural commentary, embodying Koons’ ability to merge high art with popular iconography.

Jeff Koons (b. 1955) is one of the most influential and celebrated contemporary artists of our time. Known for his polished, larger-than-life sculptures and bold engagement with consumer culture, Koons transforms everyday objects into high-gloss works of art that challenge the boundaries between fine art and mass production. His works are included in major collections worldwide, including The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, Tate Modern in London, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Koons’ art — whether depicting balloon animals, toys, or heart-shaped gifts — bridges nostalgia and spectacle, making him one of the defining figures of late 20th- and early 21st-century art.
