Since he stirred up the art world establishment in the 1980s with his unapologetic basketball sculptures and stainless-steel toy blow-ups, Jeff Koons has been known as somewhat of a bad boy. His exploitation of the banal, in the aggrandizement and/or embodiment of kitsch and pop imagery, has become Koons' trademark.
Jeff Koons’ art is anything but conformist. With hundreds of images and detailed analyses, this exhaustive monograph is the most comprehensive study of his work ever made. Koons fans and contemporary art enthusiasts alike will enjoy not only a sumptuous Koons collector’s object, but also an expert exploration of the unique visual universe which brought us stainless-steel rabbits and cut-up comic figures.
