Multimedia available  

Join us for the first of four family programs dedicated to the exhibition "Skin Fruit: Selections from the Dakis Joannou Collection," curated by Jeff Koons. This exhibition presents a selection of works one of the very finest collections of contemporary art in the world, curated by artist Jeff Koons, who brings a fresh perspective to the Joannou Collection and to the works on view. Discover several sculptures included in this exhibition, and, inspired by works such as Jeff Koons’s One Ball Total Equilibrium Tank (1985) or Robert Gober’s Pitched Crib (1987), create a flip book telling a story that will give new life to these works of art.

This program is designed and recommended for families with children four to fifteen years old, and includes free New Museum admission for up to two adults per family.
