Jeff Koons' iconic Split-Rocker sculpture has been permanently installed at LACMA in Los Angeles, thanks to philanthropists Lynda and Stewart Resnick. Towering at 37 feet, the sculpture is a blend of whimsical design and environmental care, featuring a vibrant display of 50,000 plants designed for California's dry climate. This installation coincides with the launch of the David Geffen Galleries, marking a transformative moment for the museum as it embraces an outdoor art program aimed at redefining cultural experiences in the heart of LA.
"Split-Rocker isn't just a sculpture; it's a living, growing, constantly changing work of art, blending whimsy, environmental consciousness, and cultural ambition into one massive, floral-forward statement piece."
"In partnership with a team of local botanists and horticulturalists, Koons adapted the sculpture's floral palette for SoCal's arid climate, ensuring it thrives in the sun-drenched landscape of Los Angeles."
