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 spend much more time looking at art history and at different references to art than I do at actual objects.
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 like to look at everything and appreciate seeing the different things that have meaning to people.
Jeff Koons
When people make judgments they close all the possibility around them.
Jeff Koons
Abstraction and luxury are the guard dogs of the upper class.
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'd have to say I've become more aware of my communal responsibility.
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 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
I'm interested in power.
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
I'm really not a person who consumes a lot. I don't have a sports car.
Jeff Koons
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
Art helped give me confidence.
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
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 produce a lot of my artwork in Germany.
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
Art is obsolete now. New technologies are taking over.
Jeff Koons
