Synopsis
Jeff Koons (born 1955) became prominent in the mid-1980s by targeting the meaning of art and spectacle in a media-saturated era. Since his first solo exhibition which consisted of small-scale assemblages of toys and found objects, his later works evolved into the now iconic monumental pieces which can be found permanently installed at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. His methodical inquiry into the ways in which everyday items become works of art by reflecting our desires draws attention to the continuity of images as they pass through time, combining art historical references with colloquial imagery.
This monograph, part of the 2000 Words series published by DESTE, features an essay by Massimiliano Gioni and Natalie Bell, which examines Koons’ parallels to Duchamp and the function of readymades over the course of his career. Koons has created a prophecy fueled by the ecstasy of materialism, where the image or object becomes its own ouroboros―consuming itself.

Review
Here is a chance to learn what [Koons] himself thinks he is up to. The book is for serious students of art or confirmed Koons fans. More casual readers will enjoy browsing through both the conversations and the images, getting to know the thoughts of a favorite contemporary artist in his own words that are easy to dip into or to consider more seriously.
Much has been and will be written about Koons, but there's nothing like the artist's own words...to inform our perspective on his work....Clever, slick, and mesmerizing.
The most revealing portrait yet of Koons's singular personality and artistic vision.
Provides a revealing portrait of Koons' singular personality and artistic vision as he discusses works across his 35-year career.
