Born in York (US).
Jeff Koons is intrinsically bound to mass culture, industrial fabrication and the global market. He is known for his bright colours, shiny and smooth surfaces and his flirtation with the cult of being a celebrity.
Though often contested and always controversial, he has pioneered new techniques and tested the boundaries between art, mass culture and consumer objects.
