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.

More quotes by Jeff Koons
Whenever you finish an artwork and the viewer comes and views it, at that moment you've given up control.
Jeff Koons
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
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.
Jeff Koons
I'm interested in power. I'm interested in the kind of polarities and equilibriums that take place within sexuality and philosophy and sociology. So in Versailles, in this type of setting, you have a place that is about absolute control, where everything has been thought about.
Jeff Koons
I'm interested in power.
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.
Jeff Koons
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
I'd have to say I've become more aware of my communal responsibility.
Jeff Koons
Art was something I could do better. It gave me a sense of self.
Jeff Koons
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
I produce a lot of my artwork in Germany.
Jeff Koons
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
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 try to create work that doesn't make viewers feel they're being spoken down to, so they feel open participation.
Jeff Koons
As an artist, I've always wanted to participate in the dialogue of art with other artists.
Jeff Koons
Art helped give me confidence.
Jeff Koons
I spend much more time looking at art history and at different references to art than I do at actual objects.
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
Abstraction and luxury are the guard dogs of the upper class.
Jeff Koons
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
