“Serpents,” created by Jeff Koons in 1988, is a notable installation within the Neo-Pop Art movement. This artwork encapsulates the essence of contemporary pop culture through its vibrant and whimsical design.
The artwork features two stylized serpents composed of what appears to be inflatable surfaces adorned with colorful, repetitive patterns. Each serpent is characterized by textured ‘hair’ in green and pinkish-red, bulging yellow eyes, and large green bows affixed to their necks. The cheerful and playful appearance of the serpents is amplified by the wrapping, covered with the word “agro” and decorative motifs, enhancing their pop art aesthetic. The sculptural figures rest on a plinth, emphasizing their three-dimensional and installation nature.
