More from Jeff Koons
"Art is about the affirmation of life."
"I'm not interested in making things that are going to be in a museum for the next 500 years. I'm interested in making things that are going to be in people's homes and that people are going to enjoy."
"I'm interested in the idea of the commodity. I think that art can be a commodity."
"I always try to make work that is engaging and that makes people think."
"I want my work to be an embrace of life in its totality."
About Jeff Koons (born 1955)
American contemporary artist whose Balloon Dog and Rabbit sculptures hold record sale prices for living artists; defines high-end commodified Pop. Closely associated with Damien Hirst (YBA-generation peer with similar production-line studio model) and Takashi Murakami (Superflat parallel from Japan). For an intellectual contrast, see Marina Abramović, Serbian-American performance artist — Abramović's body-on-the-line endurance work (The Artist Is Present, 2010) is the precise opposite of Koons's outsourced-fabrication, surface-shine commodification. Abramović's unmediated authorship vs Koons's factory production are the two cleanest poles of late-20th-century 'what is the artist for?' debate.
