More from Jeff Koons
"I always try to make work that is accessible and that can be understood by a wide audience."
"I want to create art that is so engaging that it can captivate people."
"My work is about embracing our past, our present, and our future."
"I've always been interested in the idea of the readymade, of taking something that already exists and transforming it into something new."
"I think that art really is about self-acceptance. It's about being able to accept oneself and to be able to communicate that to others."
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.
