The Sacred Heart (Red/Gold) by Jeff Koons was done from 1994-2007 out of high chromium stainless steel with transparent color coating. It was shown at Jeff Koons "On the Roof" exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This work of art was created to express emotional feelings that a human would feel towards another human or object including activities. That feeling would be of love and devotion. The gold and red used creates that certain energy of a warm, loving feeling, and when the sun hits it, it shines with joy.
When I look at this work, it makes me think of a wrapped up piece of chocolate shaped in the form of a heart, that would be given to someone on valentines day or at christmas time to show appreciation and love of another. It also makes me think of christmas and ornaments on a tree. I feel a warm sensation of happiness and love. The Sacred Heart
Jeff Koons must have been feeling the love when he created this sculpture. It shows the importance and sacredness of a humans heart because if no one had a heart in the world, people would treat one another as if they didn't care what happened. With the heart being as big as it is, Koons, I think, shows us that no one could ever have too big of a heart to show their care and love towards others.
