Born 1955 in York, Pennsylvania. He doesn't do his own work, but hires people to do it for him. Koons believes that art doesn't just come from a persons own hand, but how it is described and explained to one another. In Gagosian Gallory of Jeff Koons, he is one who blends the methods and concerns of Conceptual, Pop, and the technique of appropriation art with craft-making and popular culture to create his own unique iconography, that's always engaging and sometimes controversial. The gallery says that Koons "explores contemporary obsessions with sex and desire; race and gender; and celebrity, media, commerce, and fame".
"Koons takes images and objects from popular culture, framing questions about taste and pleasure". (Art in the Twenty-First Century)
Below are a few works of art done by Jeff Koons. Those works of art include: Lips (2000); Pink Panther (1988); and Sacred Heart (Red/Gold) 1994-2007.
