About Untitled (Soccerball)

The artwork, entitled “Untitled (Soccerball),” was created by the artist Jeff Koons in 1984. Executed in oil and pencil on paper, this piece is an exemplification of the Neo-Pop Art movement and falls within the genre of figurative art.

In the artwork, a soccer ball prominently occupies the center of the composition. The ball is depicted with a classic hexagonal and pentagonal pattern, characteristic of soccer balls, featuring red and black shapes against a white background. The entire illustration is set against a backdrop of graph paper, which lends a structured and precise context to the playful and familiar subject. This juxtaposition of the everyday object with the meticulous grid exemplifies Koons’ fascination with blending elements of popular culture with traditional artistic techniques. The precise and clear lines, combined with the color choices, elicit a sense of realism while maintaining a sense of simplicity.
