EREA LA RIVIERE JEFF KOONS I-7Jeff Koons Biography
Sculptor, Illustrator, Painter (1955–)
Jeff Koons is a famous contemporary
artist .
Born in York, Pennsylvania, on
January 21, 1955, artist Jeff Koons
made a name for himself by using everyday objects in
special installations that touched on consumerism and
the human experience. Some of his art has been seen as
a form of neo-kitsch, such as his balloon dogs. In 1988,
he debuted a famous sculpture of Michael Jackson.
Education
Jeff Koons was born on January 21, 1955, in York,
Pennsylvania. After high school, he headed south to
Maryland, where he attended the Maryland Institute College
of Art in Baltimore. While earning his M.F.A. there (1976),
he attended a show at the Whitney Museum in New
York, an exhibition that would change his life.
The Art
Koons’ first show was staged in 1980, and he emerged onto
the art scene with a style that blended several existing
styles—pop, conceptual, craft, appropriation—to create
his own unique mode of expression.
An “idea man,” Koons now runs his studio as he would a
production office, often using computer-aided design and
hiring out the actual construction of his pieces to technicians
who can bring to life his ideas with more precision than he
himself could.

EREA LA RIVIERE JEFF KOONS I-8His work takes on, in usually unconventional ways, such
hot-button subjects such as sex, race, gender and fame,
and it comes to life in such forms as balloons, bronzed
sporting-goods items and infl atable pool toys. His knack for
elevating the stature of such items from kitsch objects to
high art has made his name synonymous with the art of
mass culture.And the transformation that takes place
from Koons’ fi nding the objects he’ll use and the art he
creates with them often gives birth to an unexpected
psychological dimension, as shifting color, scale and
representation take on new meaning, and the viewer can
often fi nd something wholly new in how humans, animals
and anthropomorphized objects come to life.
Major Exhibitions and Awards
Of Koons, the Whitney says, “Throughout his career, he has
pioneered new approaches to the readymade, tested the
boundaries between advanced art and mass culture,
challenged the limits of industrial fabrication, and
transformed the relationship of artists to the cult of celebrity
and the global market.”He has also done solo shows at the
château de Versailles in France (2008–09), the Museum
of Contemporary Art in Chicago (2008), the Helsinki City Art
Museum (2005), the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art
in Oslo (2004) and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di
Napoli (2003).Koons’ career has been notable for the wide
array of prestigious awards he has received
