Ray Ceasar solo show at Art London

Richard Goodall Gallery dedicated the whole of its space at Art London to a solo show of Ray Cesar’s work.

 On display are the final pieces of his earlier editions, his recent work, and one ­off pieces created especially for Art London 2009. The pieces transport us to the weird and wonderful world inhabited by Caesar’s impossible creations – intricate and engrossing, disturbing yet beautiful. Although there are many collectors of his work in London, this is the first time such a group has been exhibited in the capital.

Jeff Koons created the large-scale silver balloon for Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade 2007 in New York. He modelled it on his iconic metre-high stainless steel sculpture Rabbit 1986. The silver rabbit was floated down the streets of Broadway through the crowds to celebrate the occasion. Both the original sculpture and a film of the balloon in Macy’s Day Parade are included in Pop Life: Art in a Material World.

Rabbit is on display in the South Hall, Market Building, Covent Garden, London.

Pop Life: Art in a Material World  is on display at Tate Modern from 1 October – 17 January 2010.
