"I want my work to be a balance between the ideal and the real."
"I believe that art is a way to connect with the divine."
"I'm a big believer in the power of the individual, and the power of the mass."
"I'm interested in the idea of the universal, and how art can speak to everyone."
"I think that art is really about your freedom. And if you're not free, then you're not really making art."
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.
