Tulips is part of the highly acclaimed Celebration series, which relates to the cyclical year (birthdays, holidays, seasons, etc.) and a more general celebration of the cycle of life and values like innocence, pleasure, and suspension of judgment. This image references, Tulips, 1995-1998, a large-scale oil painting of a bouquet of balloon tulips against a reflective background, which was made of millions of shapes of color with hard edges and unleashes a kaleidoscopic cascade of color. Tulips celebrates fertility, Spring, beauty, and romance. Koons wanted the Celebration paintings to be as objective as possible, a universal experience that everyone would see the same thing. It is about a calendar year and how we may perceive different things within the course of a year. You can look at the Tulips painting or theTulips sculpture and maybe it will make you think of Spring. I have always enjoyed flowers. Since taking art lessons as a child, I have had flowers in my work. I always like the sense that a flower just displays itself. The viewer always finds grace in a flower. Flowers are a symbol that life goes forward.” (J. Koons)
