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
As an artist, I've always wanted to participate in the dialogue of art with other artists.
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
Image
Art was something I could do better. It gave me a sense of self.
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.
Jeff Koons
Image
I'm interested in power.
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
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 think about my work every minute of the day.
Jeff Koons
Image
Art helped give me confidence.
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.

When people make judgments they close all the possibility around them.
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 produce a lot of my artwork in Germany.
Jeff Koons
Image
I'm really not a person who consumes a lot. I don't have a sports car.
Jeff Koons
Image
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.
Jeff Koons
Image
Abstraction and luxury are the guard dogs of the upper class.
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
Art is obsolete now. New technologies are taking over.
