Pictures of cartoon character Popeye and what appear to be massive inflatable children’s toys have gone on show in an exhibition celebrating the work of American artist Jeff Koons.
The Serpentine Gallery, which is hosting the display in London, said it was the first major exhibition of the artist’s work in a public gallery in England.
It includes dolphins, a paddling pool, monkeys and lobsters which, at first glance, look like they would be more at home being played with on a beach. But rather than being inflatable, the objects are cast in aluminium and their surfaces are painted.
