Jeff Koons

Jeff Koons is without question one of the most important living artists. Since his emergence in the 1980s Koons has blended the concerns and methods of Pop and Conceptual art with popular culture to create his own unique iconography, at times controversial and always engaging. Often working with everyday objects, his work revolves around themes of self-acceptance and transcendence. Koons' works are exhibited throughout the world and are found in numerous public and private collections. Koons lives and works in New York City.

Koons’s work has been shown in major galleries and institutions throughout the world. His Celebration sculptures were the subject of exhibitions on the rooftop of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and at the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin. Château de Versailles opened its doors to a living artist for the first time with Jeff Koons: Versailles, where a selection of his work were presented within the Grand Apartments. The Whitney Museum of American Art presented the most comprehensive survey of Koons’s career to date
