Description:

Jeff Koons’ Encased – Five Rows (1983–1993) is a monumental example of his early sculptural assemblages, where everyday objects are transformed into icons of consumer culture. Using sports equipment — basketballs and soccer balls — meticulously arranged within a glass and steel vitrine, Koons elevates mass-produced commodities into the realm of high art.

This work reflects Koons’ continued exploration of themes of desire, consumerism, and the readymade tradition, echoing the conceptual strategies of Duchamp while pushing them into a contemporary American vernacular. The pristine case and industrial materials underscore notions of display, preservation, and the fetishization of objects in a culture driven by consumption
