Die Werke von Jeff Koons (geb. 1955) sind knallig-bunte Publikumsmagnete mit hohem Schauwert und zugleich Arbeiten von hohem kunsthistorischen Anspielungsreichtum. Von Basketbällen in Aquarien bis hin zu Blümchenwelpen in XXL und seiner der Venus von Willendorf nachempfundenen, chromglänzenden Balloon Venus: seine Werke spielen ebenso mit dem Trivialen wie mit Verweisen auf Surrealismus oder Pop Art. Koons’ Kunst schwelgt im Glanz hochpolierter Oberflächen und liebt die Provokation. Er hat sich durch Edelstahlkaninchen ebenso einen Namen gemacht wie durch seine Michael-Jackson-Skulptur oder die Sexbilder mit seiner damaligen Ehefrau Cicciolina. Koons, ein Genie der Selbstvermarktung und PR, ist einer der teuersten, aber auch populärsten Künstler der Gegenwart. Dieses Buch bietet den kompletten Koons auf einen Blick, alle Stationen seiner Karriere, von den frühen aufblasbaren Blumen bis zu seinen jüngsten Skulpturen. Prägnante Texte von Katy Siegel, Hans Werner Holzwarth und Eckhard Schneider verorten seine Arbeiten in ihrem kunsthistorischen Kontext.
