Laura Gilbert has discovered a number of works owned by Jeff Koons on display at the Met in New York. In the process, she’s also discovered a website that appears to be a catalogue of Koons’s collection based upon works that are already known to be owned by the artist.
Working backward from the list, we find three Picasso’s that were bought at the height of the art boom for a combined total of $51.68m, a substantial amount of money even for wealthy artist like Koons.
