CHICAGO, IL.- RxArt, the non-profit
organization
that curates contemporary art installations in hospital settings, and
Kiehl’s
Since 1851, the venerable New York-based purveyor of fine quality skin
and hair
care, have partnered to bring the artwork of Jeff Koons to Chicago’’s
Advocate
Hope Children’s Hospital. Kiehl’s underwrote the fabrication and
installation of
works by world-renowned pop artist Jeff Koons on a CT Scanner and
throughout the
scanner room at Advocate Hope Children’s Hospital for RxArt. As a result
of this
project, Koons’ iconic characters will find a permanent home in the
hospital’s
radiology department, to soothe and cheer young patients and brighten
the
typically sterile and potentially scary testing environment.
