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.
