Jeff Koons Returns To Gagosian Gallery

Though his sculpture Rabbit (1986) continues to be the most expensive work sold at auction by a living artist, bring $91.1 million in 2019, his sales dropped considerably within the past few years. Artnet Newsreported in 2024 that specific powerful enthusiasts and suppliers were working to help alter that.

Schachter reported that Rate got financiers for the venture, sinking in between $50 million and $100 million into the venture. But when added funds were required to end up construction, the investors balked. Koons bowed out Pace right after, Shachter said.
