"I think that everything is perfect, and everything is beautiful."
"I think that art should be challenging. It should make people question their assumptions."
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.
