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.

More quotes by Jeff Koons
I'd have to say I've become more aware of my communal responsibility.
Jeff Koons
Art helped give me confidence.
Jeff Koons
I went to art school... but I worked at the Museum of Modern Art. I worked in fundraising at the information membership desk. I ended up, over a period of time, doubling the amount of membership revenue that came in through people entering the museum, so people would ask me to come and work for them.
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 always liked Disney films. To this day I think 'Bambi' is great.
Jeff Koons
As an artist, I've always wanted to participate in the dialogue of art with other artists.
Jeff Koons
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
I'm really not a person who consumes a lot. I don't have a sports car.
Jeff Koons
I'm interested in power.
Jeff Koons
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
I produce a lot of my artwork in Germany.
Jeff Koons
I like to look at everything and appreciate seeing the different things that have meaning to people.
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'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 think about my work every minute of the day.
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
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
I spend much more time looking at art history and at different references to art than I do at actual objects.
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
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.
