About Me

Jeff Koons is an American artist who stands out for taking the image of everyday objects to the field of sculpture, exploring the sense of art and the crisis of representation. From the beginning of his training at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he showed his interest in the art world associated with marketing and commerce, reflecting his parallel activity as a stockbroker.

Although in his work he makes paintings, it is in the sculpture and installation where he will stand out the most. The 80s will be the beginning of the proposal between object and materiality; "Inflatables", daily inflated objects presented inside glass showcases. The word game is taken to the representation where a simple child inflation is exhibited as a work of art.

The fragile and ordinary materiality moves to that of a sculpture. The choice of objects is not random. These highlight a clear kitsch style, where the taste for an ornate and “bad taste” aesthetic stands out. His sculptures intend to enter an everyday object into the artistic field.
