Jeff the Koons (1)
2009
A gleaming, oversized stainless steel-like vessel rendered in painted aluminum sits nestled within a weathered wooden crate, evoking the language of both global commodity culture and everyday Indian kitchen utensils. Gupta playfully references Jeff Koons' iconic use of reflective, consumer-driven sculpture while grounding the work in the familiar domestic objects of the subcontinent. The pairing of industrial crating with the lustrous, monumental form creates a tension between the precious and the mundane, shipment and spectacle.
