Jeff Koons

Best known for his playful large scale sculptors, Jeff Koons is a icon to most. His creative sculptors invite people to become part of his art rather than keeping them as solely a viewer. His art became part of the Neo-Pop Art Movement, emphasizing the importance of commercial interests. Just like the Infinity Room by Yayoi Kasuma, some of Koons works can be found at The Broad in Los Angeles. His art’s relevance to modern themes in different perspectives is what helps him connect with the public. He also is able to create a visual irony by using materials that are expensive and making them look cheap to the public because of familiarity.

“The job of the artist is to make a gesture and really show people what their potential is. It’s not about the object, and it’s not about the image; it’s about the viewer. That’s where the art happens.”
