Below is a close up look at some of the artworks included in the new Jeff Koons retrospective at Swiss art institute Fondation Beyeler. The exhibition is the first dedicated Koons exhibition in the country and focuses on three main collections of his - "The New", "Banality" and "Celebration" - each of which have been formed over the course of the artist's career, which began in the 80s. By doing this, the Fondation Beyeler give viewers a nice overview of the contrasting materials and aesthetics Koons has utilised over the years.

If you're in the area, the retrospective will be running through to 2 September, 2012.
