It is especially exciting when ancient art becomes contemporary. Artists like Jeff Koons and Isa Genzken make use of the craftsmanship of the Berlin Gipsformerei to create their own works. In doing so, they promote the development of contemporary art while at the same time helping the art of the old masters to stay alive. Genzken gives the famous Nefertiti bust a modern twist, for example, with different-coloured sunglasses, while in his series Gazing Ball, Koons adds dazzling blue balls to antique forms.
