JEFF KOONS

The inimitable works of art by Jeff Koons (*1955 in York, Pennsylvania) have been causing uproars since the eighties. This publicati on is an in-depth examination of three major groups of works: The New (198087), Banality (1988), and Celebration (ongoing since 199 4), each one of which represents a spectacular and consequential phase in Koonss oeuvre. Ready-made objects from The New are transf ormed in Banality into wondrous, provocative sculptures created with traditional craftsmanship.
