I don't like being naïve about the market, and I always try to make things as great as I can. Then I hope that there's an audience that enjoys them, and that hopefully those things get protected.
Jeff Koons
Image
As an artist, I've always wanted to participate in the dialogue of art with other artists.

Image
I always liked Disney films. To this day I think 'Bambi' is great.
Jeff Koons
Image
I like to look at everything and appreciate seeing the different things that have meaning to people.
Jeff Koons
Image
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.

I'm interested in power.
Jeff Koons

A photograph for me does not have a sense of spiritual seduction, it does not have an essence, that this is something that permeates and which is eternal through time.
Jeff Koons
Image
Art helped give me confidence.
Jeff Koons
Image
Art is something that happens inside us. We look at things in the world, and we become excited by them. We understand our own possibilities of becoming. And that's what art is.
Jeff Koons
Image
I believe in advertisement and media completely. My art and my personal life are based in it. I think that the art world would probably be a tremendous reservoir for everybody involved in advertising.
Jeff Koons
Image
I enjoy all mediums, and I have to say, music is the medium that first made me understand how powerful art could be.
Jeff Koons
Image
Art is obsolete now. New technologies are taking over.
Jeff Koons
Image
I would prefer a normal-sized breast, or a small breast or whatever, and that it be natural, than to understand that it was just some jelly in there.
Jeff Koons
Image
People have different ideas, emotional ideas, of what certain words mean, and they think of irony as something that's more associated with being cynical-it's kind of a put-down.
Jeff Koons
Image
I spend much more time looking at art history and at different references to art than I do at actual objects.
Jeff Koons
Image
I've always enjoyed feeling a connection to the avant-garde, such as Dada and surrealism and pop art. The only thing the artist can do is be honest with themselves and make the art they want to make. That's what I've always done.
Jeff Koons
Image
When people make judgments they close all the possibility around them.
Jeff Koons
Image
It's wonderful to make a lot of money, to be able to take care of my family, to have the facilities I have and really support the people the studio's involved with. But at the end of the day I'm quite simple as an artist-it's really about the power of art.
Jeff Koons
Image
The first thing that any good artist has to develop is a sense of independence from the artworld. What really destroys a young artist is insecurity, the fear that everything could be taken away at any moment.

Whenever you finish an artwork and the viewer comes and views it, at that moment you've given up control.
