Jeff Koons born in 1955, is American and one of the most famous contempory artist. His style is inspired by kitsch imagery, and his masterpieces are generally in high formats, whether it concerns sculptures or paintings.
His style can be classified as Neo-Pop or Post-Pop, as part of an 80s movement in reaction to the pared-down art of Minimalism and Conceptualism in the previous decade mixed with a lot of irony, humour. Heritage from Andy Warhol and Salvador Dalí.
His work is amongst the most expensive in the world for a contemporary artist.
Quote to remember: "I love the gallery, the arena of representation. It's a commercial world, and morality is based generally around economics, and that's taking place in the art gallery."
