Whenever you finish an artwork and the viewer comes and views it, at that moment you've given up control.
Jeff Koons
Image
I try to create work that doesn't make viewers feel they're being spoken down to, so they feel open participation.
Jeff Koons
Image
I'd have to say I've become more aware of my communal responsibility.
Jeff Koons
Image
Art helped give me confidence.
Jeff Koons
Image
Art was something I could do better. It gave me a sense of self.
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.
Jeff Koons
Image
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.

Image
I like to look at everything and appreciate seeing the different things that have meaning to people.
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
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
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 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
When people make judgments they close all the possibility around them.
Jeff Koons
Image
As an artist, I've always wanted to participate in the dialogue of art with other artists.
Jeff Koons
Image
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 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 try to be a truthful artist and I try to show a level of courage. I enjoy that. I'm a messenger.
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.
Jeff Koons
Image
I spend much more time looking at art history and at different references to art than I do at actual objects.
