The artwork, titled “Gazing Ball (Stool)” by Jeff Koons, was created between 2013 and 2016. It employs glass and a ready-made stool as its medium, aligning itself with the Neo-Pop Art and Conceptual Art movements. This creation resides within the genre of sculpture.
The artwork itself features a simple wooden stool with white legs, atop which sits a perfectly spherical blue glass ball. The reflective surface of the gazing ball captures and mirrors its environment, engaging the viewer in a dynamic interaction. The minimalist composition juxtaposes everyday objects with a sense of vibrant and reflective grandeur, characteristic of Koons’ exploration of contemporary culture and aesthetics.
