The artwork named “Gazing Ball (Snowman)” is a sculpture created by renowned artist Jeff Koons in 2013. The medium used for this piece is plaster, and it belongs to the Neo-Pop Art movement.
The sculpture depicts a classic snowman, characterized by its three-tiered structure and traditional winter attire, including a hat and scarf. The snowman holds a striking, cobalt blue reflective gazing ball in one of its “hands,” which stands out against the pristine white of the plaster. The reflective nature of the gazing ball invites viewers to engage with the artwork in an interactive manner, as it mirrors its surroundings. The entire piece is positioned on a white pedestal, accentuating its elegant and minimalist aesthetic.
