Biography 
1955
Born in York, PA ((US)
Lives and works in New York, NY (US)
The name Jeff Koons is synonymous with all that is sublime and ridiculous in art. Were you to hear Koons talk about the role of art in society, you might get the impression that he is the immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary and self-help guru Dale Carnegie. And maybe he is. Considered a genius by some, a harmless charlatan by others, and no doubt a con artist by a few, Jeff Koons' work never fails to elicit a reaction.
Throughout the 90s, Koons' interest in the eternal perfection of his art has gradually encompassed the mortal realities of ephemerality and circularity. The temporal splendor of Puppy (1992), his 50 foot-high dog topiary rendered entirely in seasonal flowers (17,000 of them), and his more recent paintings from photographs of ribbons and wrapping paper enclosing unknown gifts, would seem to focus more on the transience of things, and the holidays and seasons that mark their time. Is Koons sensing his own mortality? Or preparing us for a resurrection? Whatever the case, we can be sure that Koons will continue to give the big themes - sex, spirituality and death - with an utterly contemporary twist.
