About the artist:
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."
About the book: This exhaustive monograph is arranged in chronological chapters by work groups. The main body of the book features Katy Siegel’s detailed analyses alongside hundreds of large-format images, tracing Koons’ career from 1979 to today. This publication is not only a sumptuous book-object, but also the most comprehensive study of the artist’s work ever published.
