Abstraction and luxury are the guard dogs of the upper class.

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.

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
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.

I don't think irony is about judgment I think irony is something like, Oh, that's interesting, because it's not something I think one starts off to achieve. I think it's just something that presents itself. And if it does, I find it's usually optimistic, not negative in its terms.

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
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
For me, art really starts with acceptance, self trust. Wherever you come to with art, its perfect. You dont have to come with anything. What you bring to something is the art. Thats where its found. Its found within you.
Jeff Koons

I believe that my art gets across the point that I'm in this morality theater trying to help the underdog, and I'm speaking socially here, showing concern and making psychological and philosophical statements for the underdog.

I'm interested in power.

Art is obsolete now. New technologies are taking over.

Image
Art was something I could do better. It gave me a sense of self.

I produce a lot of my artwork in Germany.

When people make judgments they close all the possibility around them.

I try to be a truthful artist and I try to show a level of courage. I enjoy that. I'm a messenger.
