	Works by the artist Jeff Koons - at Coskun, London
		Jeff Koons was born in York, Pennsylvania; as a teenager he revered Salvador Dalì, to the extent of visiting him in the Plaza Hotel.
		Koons' early work was in the form of conceptual sculpture, one of the best-known being Two Ball 50/50 Tank, 1985, consisting of two basket balls floating in water, which half-fills a glass tank.
		Koons then moved on to "Statuary", the large stainless-steel blowups of toys, and then a series "Banality", which culminated in 1988 with Michael Jackson and Bubbles—stated to be the world's largest ceramic—a life-size gold-leaf plated statue of the sitting singer cuddling Bubbles, his pet chimpanzee.

	Jeff Koons Summary
		Jeff Koons was born in York, Pennsylvania; as a teenager he revered Salvador Dalí, to the extent of visiting him in the Plaza Hotel.
		Koons' work is classified as Neo-Pop or Post-Pop, as part of an 80s movement in reaction to the pared-down art of Minimalism and Conceptualism in the previous decade.
		Whether Koons will be seen in time as a critical commentator in the tradition of the Dadaists and a genuine leader in the controversial tradition of the avant-garde, or merely as a fashionable purveyor of meaninglessness and banality, remains to be seen.

		Koons' sculptures have recenty sold as for as much as $1.8 million or $721 per sq.
		Koons' detractors say he has earned both fame and lavish compensation in the same spirit as have Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp, and Milli Vanilli.
		Koons' frequent goal is to present common objects as is. "When I'm working with an object I always have to give the greatest consideration not to alter the object physically or even psychologically.

	The Broad Art Foundation - The Collection - Jeff Koons
		Jeff Koons' artworks rarely inspire moderate responses, and this is one signal of the importance of his achievement.
		Focusing on some of the most unexpected objects as models for his work, Koons' works eschew typical standards of "good taste" in art and zero in rather precisely on the vulnerabilities of hierarchies and value systems.
		Cast in highly polished stainless steel from an inflatable Easter bunny novelty, the sculpture's reflective surfaces have the eerie effect of including the viewer in its cool reflection in spite of any angle at which it may be approached.

	Jeff Koons
		Jeff Koons: The basic story line is about art leaving the realm of the artist, when the artist loses control of the work.
		Koons: The early work is very important to my personal development, but I don’t feel that it has the same so-cial value as my work from the time of “The New.” I feel basically that the core of my work stays the same.
		Koons: It’s basically the medium that defines people’s perceptions of the world, of life itself, how to interact with others.

	Gagosian Gallery - Jeff Koons
		From the outset of his controversial career, Koons turned the traditional notion of the work of art and its context inside out.
		Moving through various conceptual constructs including the new, the banal and the heavenly, his work has evolved from its literal, deadpan beginnings into visceral manifestations that dazzle the eye and confound the senses.
		Jeff Koons was born in 1955 in York, PA. He received his B.F.A. at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

	Jeff Koons
		Jeff Koons is a seminal figure in recent American art, but his work still seems to infuriate some audiences.
		As if Koons is that kid who mumbles 'Asshole says what' to their victim, for whom the only reply is 'What?'.
		This issue is always phrased in binary terms, YES: Jeff Koons is ironic and detached and is secretly mocking the images he professes to love, or NO: Koons loves and feels emotional about his source material and the work it subsequently spawns.

	AE160D Unit 20: Jeff Koons
		Jeff added a facet of interest to his work by incorporating the theory of kitch and camp into his style.
		Jeff Koons is by no means a static artist, proven by his undying desire to incorporate all aspects of life into art.
		Koons, like his predecessor Marcel Duchamp, seems to delight in the friction and irritation that his pieces provoke, as he continues to constantly challenge the system.

	Jeff Koons > Info (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Koons’ decision to identify his role with his work, to seemingly collapse the distance between maker and made, may account for the vehemence of the personal and emotional reactions elicited in some quarters.
		Koons follows an altogether different path: He isolates certain elements, selected for their cultural coding, and, in enlarging them, he literally re-casts them into materials with social connotation: Koons chooses porcelain, a substance he associates with bourgeois values, and stainless steel, signifying to the artist a luxury material for the poor.
		Koons delivers exactly the characteristics of a new tendency in the Arts, as defined by Jakobson: he analyzes the different facets of “realism” as seen from the perspective of a subjective beholder, embedded within his or her given time or historical distance.

	eyestorm - article - Jeff Koons: Getting It
		Koons' source material is kitsch (but never camp) and most people, artworld or not, would agree on that point.
		To watch Koons speak in interviews, he is always maddeningly espousing warm, gooey, puppy love for his creations - and he answers every pointed question with the same beatific smile, like the Pope playing poker.
		Yet Koons' work was, and remains, liberating for many art students and artists because he is still the crucial bridge between the ironic and post-ironic worlds.

	ARTnews
		Koons, who was born in 1955 in York, Pennsylvania and lives today in a 13-room town house on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, came of age as an artist during a decade when contemporaries like Julian Schnabel were aggressively promoting themselves, eager to expand their markets to the level of music and movie legends.
		Koons began the series after his ex-wife Ilona Staller, a Hungarian-born porn star in Italy, and the inspiration for Koons’s sexually explicit 1991 “Made in Heaven” series, left him in 1993 and took their son to Italy, sparking a long-running custody fight.
		Koons has always acted as the head of a complicated operation that requires the cooperation and support of many people, but never before on the scale required by “Celebration,” which Koons has said was an attempt to communicate with his estranged son.

	Jeff Koons \| Biography (born 1955)
		However, the Koons phenomenon -- Koons himself, his objects, and the discursive reception that surrounds it all -- is inherently paradoxical.
		Koons is made out to be a critical commentator in the tradition of the Dadaists and a controversial figure in the footsteps of the avant-garde, yet his art-historical glory resides in the perception that he is "flat" -- no depth, all surface.
		Koons art has been widely plagiarized in the People's Republic of China where consumers continue buying his work despite the threat of lengthy jail terms for possession of these controversial reproductions.

		But calling Koons' art basically non-art, denigrating it because he doesn't specifically handle and create it like the manly artists of yore, and saying that it is, essentially, a joke, strikes me as similar to the way that conservatives have always moved to block the emergence of new things in art.
		Koons is good because there's a kind of transcendence in his taking many of the worst trends of our age -- typified by the 80s -- kitsch, superficiality, voyeurism, commercialism, escapism -- and makes us contemplate them when we're looking at his art.
		Koons allows us the insight into our own psyches and allows us to ponder what it is that really makes us who we are and as we choose to deal with his work on any level we gain an understanding of that.

	ART FOR A CHANGE: Jeff Koons: The Schlock of the New
		Koons on the other hand is an insider who is wedded to privilege, as is evident from the $1 million given to LACMA by the Annenberg Foundation, funds to be used in conducting engineering studies on the feasibility of Koons' proposed construction.
		Another troubling aspect to Koons being placed front and center at the new LACMA is the effect Train will have on the overall look of the museum, giving it the aura of a commercial entertainment theme park like Hollywood’s Universal Citywalk, confirming the clichés people have about culture in a place like Los Angeles.
		Koons is deficient in his capacity to draw, paint, or sculpt - and like many other postmodernists, he contracts others to actually create his artworks.

	Jeff Koons: Sonnabend Gallery - Reviews: New York ArtForum - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Jeff Koons did not become the most famous artist to emerge from the milieu of '80s New York because of his paintings--but they have always been there.
		In 1992, an adamant Koons designated the photographs in his notorious "Made in Heaven" series as "paintings." Consisting of images of Koons and his porn-star wife, Ilona Stahler (aka La Cicciolina), engaged in uninhibited sex, the works were printed with oil ink on canvas, each in an edition of three.
		More significantly, Koons is again relaxing into pictures that provoke as much as they satisfy, that raise questions yet to be examined--for example, about the complexity of depictions of women throughout his work.

		Koons' earliest works from the late 70s - when he was trading cotton on the New York Stock Exchange to fund his art practice - were mass-produced inflatable flowers and toys placed carefully on mirrors, marrying a child-like naivety to sexual metaphors and consumerism.
		Koons is at once the Father (the giver of form), the Son (the messenger of everlasting life) and the Holy Spirit (the creator of faith).
		Koons and Staller were married a year after she had begun appearing in his work, emphasizing the genuine, 'innocent' nature of his desire.

		Jeff Koons amazed the art world at his first one-man show in the New York New Museum of Contemporary Art in 1980 by showing three self-contained work groups that seemed like the product range from a newly established trading chain: "Inflatables", "The Pre-New" and "The New".
		In "The Pre-New", Koons presents everyday objects mounted on plastic fluorescent tubes.
