Background on “Seated Ballerina” Artist and Koons License

The artist’s “grandson, Maxim Lozovoy, told Ukrainian media that representatives of Koons acquired rights to two works in September 2010. One is the inspiration for Seated Ballerina; the other is the statuette on which Koons’s Ballerinas (2010-14) is based (showing a crouching dancer tying the laces of another; an edition is currently on display at the Gagosian Gallery in Beverly Hills).”
