Jeff Koons, a leading contemporary artist, creates vibrant sculptures, paintings, and installations that often push the limits of good taste. His work explores themes of commodification, spectacle, celebrity, and consumerism, featuring iconic pieces like balloon dogs, cast-aluminum pool toys, and a gold-painted porcelain figure of Michael Jackson. While he avoids deep interpretations, his innovative fabrication techniques set him apart from mere provocateurs. Koons holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art and has exhibited widely in cities like New York, London, and Seoul. His works are included in prestigious collections such as The Broad and the Museum of Modern Art, with some selling for nearly $100 million on the secondary market.
