Comprehensive and definitive
Jeff Koons is a controversial figure - of that much we can be sure. How he is remembered in the history books is still uncertain, but there will be no middle ground. Surveying the review shows that one seems to either love Koons or hate him with nothing in between. For myself, I'm deeply ambivalent; at times I'm fascinated by his ideas, while at other times, I find him exceedingly banal. I decided to investigate further. Knowing Taschen's reputation for excellence, I decided to start my deeper exploration of Koons with their massive retrospective on his life and work. Most are probably already aware, but this book is a scaled-down version of one of Taschen's ultra-deluxe limited editions. I believe it's the exact same content, but in a smaller size. It can't be that much smaller though, because it's still a huge, heavy book - almost 600 pages, 2 inches thick, 9.4 pounds. It's truly an exhaustive source and I have yet to reach the halfway point. The reason I'm writing the...

Over The Top!
This book is massive and filled with Koons and more Koons. It's all in color and covers every aspect of his art so this is really the only book you need and it's also easily the best. A bargain at the published price so if you like Koons you can't go wrong.

Great book
This is a very interesting book about Jeff Koons. I was familiar with some of his work but not all. Now I am. When it comes to art I love Taschen books, this is my fourth.

Product Description

An in-depth study of Koons's entire oeuvre to date. Unlimited popular edition.

From kinky to kitsch to conceptual, Jeff Koons s art is anything but conformist. Since he stirred up the art world establishment in the 1980s with his unapologetic basketball sculptures and stainless steel toy blow-ups, Koons has been known as somewhat of a bad boy a reputation he confirmed in the early 90s via works depicting him having sex with then-wife Cicciolina, the Italian porn star-cum-politician. Following this torrid phase, he changed gears to produce the gargantuan Puppy, the 43-foot tall floral terrier that now resides at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. Koons s exploitation of the banal, in the aggrandizement and/or embodiment of kitsch and pop imagery, has become his trademark; detractors may delight in their naysaying, but Koons s work commands millions at auction and his position at the forefront of contemporary art is indisputable.

This exhaustive monograph begins with a biographical essay by Interview magazine editor-in-chief Ingrid Sischy that puts his work into context and tells his personal story, as well as a text by Eckhard Schneider s analyzing Koons from a European perspective. Arranged in chronological chapters by work groups, the main body of the book features art historian and critic Katy Siegel s detailed analyses alongside hundreds of large-format images tracing Koons s career from 1979 to today. Rounding off the book are an extended bibliography and a lavishly illustrated biography. Fans of Jeff Koons s work will find in this publication not only a sumptuous book-object, but also the most comprehensive study of the artist s work ever published.

This unlimited popular edition is for readers on a budget or who were unable to get their hands on the original limited Collector's and Art Edition. Top to learn more

Impressive Exhibition Catalog
I've always been a fan of Jeff Koons. I love his wit, his irony, and his ability to push boundaries. Not only is this book/catalog a great survey of his work, but an incredibly thorough documentation of the artist's oeuvre and exhibition at the MCA Chicago. (Besides, the price here is fantastic - I bought this at the exhibition last summer and it is still worth every penny.) This is a must for artists, fans, educators, pop culture enthusiasts, and anyone interested in contemporary art.

Product Description

In 1975, a young art student named Jeff Koons (b. 1955) moved to Chicago, where he studied at the School of the Art Institute; worked as a studio assistant to his hero, painter Ed Paschke, for $1 an hour; and socialized with many of the city’s most talented artists. This handsome book takes a fresh look at the rise and career of Jeff Koons, who is now arguably one of the world’s most famous artists.

Koons collaborated extensively on this book, which accompanies the first solo museum exhibition in the U.S. in 16 years and offers a survey of nearly thirty years of his work, beginning with iconic sculptures from 1979 to new paintings completed in 2007. Francesco Bonami reconsiders his career, making intriguing connections to the work of Andy Warhol, A. A. Milne, Marcel Duchamp, and Gustave Courbet, among others. This is the first publication to explore a little-known but highly influential period in the artist’s careerhis time in Chicago in the 1970s. It also provides an accessible and comprehensive introduction to Koons’s work for new audiences and short texts about each of his series and many major works.

Jeff Koons: Versailles

Customer Review

Versailles a stage of the past, and for the present and the future.
This is a fantastic book. Might I say first that I was impartial to the art of Jeff Koons...until now. I went to the book store to look at this book for a uni assessment.I have to say I wasn't at all amused at the thought of spending $90 on a contemporary art book. This definitely changed as I rapidly turned the pages. I have studied Versailles and the art of this period and in hindsight I would say that I was a naive traditionalist art history student. I have only read the foreword (I am 498words into my assessment...I just had to share this) and I feel as though the contemporary art world has opened it's doors to me! Freaking awesome is the only way to put it. I already have so much to write. I never would have envisaged Versailles as a stage for contemporary art, now I only pray that I can get hold of the next installment- Murakami super-flat artist in Versailles 2010 (this artist I do know well!). This book= About 15% words and 85% super HD massive photographs...

Product Description

This volume presents a marriage made in camp heaven--the splendid extravagance of the palace of Versailles as a backdrop for the gregarious, loud and equally extravagant sculptures of contemporary American Pop artist Jeff Koons, who mounted the first contemporary art exhibition ever in the apartments of the king in September 2008. What other artist could match Louis XIV's love of the saccharine gesture? Sugared up to the max, Koons here counterposes Versailles' rich detail with his more simplified forms, including a monumental red chocolate-box-style heart, balloon dog and suspended red aluminum lobster. Other works outdo Versailles for kitsch, such as Koons' marble self-portrait, playfully sited amid busts of Louis XIV, his infamous "Michael Jackson and Bubbles" sculpture and his ever-cryptic bare-breasted blonde clutching the Pink Panther. Yet others, such as the large vase of flowers, blend seamlessly with the decor. Needless to say, accusations of irreverence have abounded, but Koons avows only respect for the venue and has testified that he has drawn inspiration for his floral sculptures from the "fantasy and control" shown by Louis XIV himself. The degree of sympathy is as hard to contest as the edge of parody: Asked why he installed his vitrine of vacuum cleaners among the portraits of royalty in the Queen's antechamber, Koons replied that, among other things, vacuum cleaners are "very womblike." This monograph records each of the 17 works as exhibited and is supplemented with texts by Jean-Jacques Aillagon, chairman of Versailles and a former French culture minister, and controversial French novelist Michel Houellebecq, among others.

Product Description

Jeff Koons' newest paintings combine high pixelation of sexual imagery with gestural paint splashes, in an erotic rampage that bursts off the canvas, energized by a friction between photography, painting and digital media. In part an homage to Courbet's "Origin of theWorld," these works argue for the flourishing of libido and aim to make a direct hit upon their viewer: "My work will use everything that it can to communicate. It will use any trick, I'll do anything- absolutely anything-to communicate and to win the viewer over," says the artist. Offsetting this quasi-religious solicitousness is Koons' usual great degree of care in the layering of images, and the pixelated imagery that compels the viewer to stand back some way to process it. (For Koons, pixelation too is a sign of authenticity.) This beautifully produced edition presents five of these new paintings printed on tipped-in color plates. Top to learn more

In April 2010, Jeff Koons, a York County native, unveiled his multicolored design for a BMW M3 GT2. According to Wired , BMW made scale models of the M3 GT2 art car designed by Koons. BMW didn’t announce pricing, but other model art cars sell for about $160.

“Buying one of BMW’s official Art Cars is near impossible as most of them have been retained by the automaker for its own museum”, writes the Motor Authority . “However, the sale of a BMW Art Car to Joe Public isn’t without precedent. While the chance of another one coming up for public sale may be slim, at least in the near future, BMW is now offering fans the chance to own a scale model of one, in this case the automaker’s most recent one. you may recall that the 1979 BMW M1 Art Car was recently sold to Jonathan Sobel , owner of BMW of Southampton and an avid art collector.

Here’s a brief and wide survey of classical and contemporary artists who conceive, but don’t or didn’t always GREETINGS TO ONE AND ALL…SACRED ART MUST HAVE A BIT OF THE SOUL OF THE ARTIST IN IT IF IT IS TO HAVE ANY INNATE VALUE…LIKE THE BLESSINGS... I do in fact take great pride in organizing Kostabi World to paint my paintings, but I take even greater pride in getting scores of well known art critics to work for me when they titles my paintings on my TV show called The Kostabi Show. Everyone has lots of ideas, sometimes people with the best ideas are not the best at getting those ideas realised. I think understanding something you spend time learning and passing on that knowledge is more valuable than understanding how to manipulate people and make a lot of money and take advantage of people who are more skilled but less organised. I guess Damien Hirst is a master craftsman passing on knowledge but I’m not sure if the artists painting his dots are the one’s learning from him and I don’t think I want to be in the same room as the people who are learning from him. The most “successful” artists understand the systems of production and consumption in which they are operating and understand the steps they need to take to get an idea from their brain into a gallery / art collection / movie theater etc. I’m sure Damien Hirst is quite happy because he fully understands the art market in which he is working, he has a lot of resources and he very successfully brings his “ideas” to lucrative completion. Allegedly David Hockney recently took a dig at Damien Hirst when a poster for his upcoming show at the Royal Academy of Art read, “All the works here were made by the artist himself, personally. ” The Royal Academy of Art has since clarified that the phrase appeared on Hockney’s gallery wall, not their poster, and Mr. Hockney was not attacking anyone specifically. Even Basquiat, who one thinks of as an artist with a very personal, expressionistic touch, employed Rick Prol to paint backgrounds for him.

With the racing stripes all over the body of the car, a cartoonish explosion and flying amoebic blobs of color, the car barely even looks like a Jeff Koons work, which, despite my distaste for Koons’s work, is not a compliment. Not that everyone would hate getting a model of Koons’s car, this would be a perfect gift for Larry Gagosian , Dakis Joannou or the New Museum.
