Jeff Koons — Woman in Tub
Jeff Koons

Woman in Tub

1988

"Woman in Tub" is a polished stainless steel sculpture by Jeff Koons from 1988 that exemplifies his appropriation of everyday objects and popular imagery transformed into monumental, highly reflective artworks. The work depicts a woman reclining in a bathtub, rendered in Koons's characteristic mirror finish that reflects the surrounding environment and implicates the viewer in the artwork's consumption. Like much of Koons's practice, the sculpture explores themes of desire, materialism, and the commodification of the body within contemporary visual culture.
