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
Abstraction and luxury are the guard dogs of the upper class.
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
Art helped give me confidence.
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
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.

I'm really not a person who consumes a lot. I don't have a sports car.
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 spend much more time looking at art history and at different references to art than I do at actual objects.
Jeff Koons
Image
I like to look at everything and appreciate seeing the different things that have meaning to people.
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'm interested in power.
Jeff Koons
Image
As an artist, I've always wanted to participate in the dialogue of art with other artists.
Jeff Koons
Image
I produce a lot of my artwork in Germany.
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 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'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
Image
When people make judgments they close all the possibility around them.
Jeff Koons
Image
I think about my work every minute of the day.
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.
