The artwork, titled “Violet Ice (Kama Sutra)” by Jeff Koons, was created in 1991 and represents the Neo-Pop Art movement. This piece is a sculpture that vividly encapsulates the essence of its genre and movement through its distinct characteristics.
This sculpture, rendered in lustrous violet and transparent materials, depicts a complex tableau of intertwining human forms and crystalline structures. The figures are posed in an intimate engagement, evoking connections to the ancient text of the Kama Sutra. The shimmering, almost ethereal quality of the materials used complements the intricate details of the figures and the surrounding crystalline structures, creating a captivating interplay of light and form. The artwork’s vibrant hue and polished surfaces contribute to its striking visual impact, characteristic of Koons’ signature style within Neo-Pop Art.
