BIBLIOGRAFIA
York, Pensilvania, 21 de enero de
1955.
Estudio pintura en el instituto de
Arte de Chicago y en el colegio de
Arte de Maryland.
En la década de los 80 empieza
hacerse notar abriendo su estudio
con un personal de 30 ayudantes,
basándose un poco en Andy
Warhol este local se llamaba the
factory.
OBRAS
Clasificada a veces como minimalista y Neo-pop, su obra consistía inicialmente en escultura
conceptual que fue adquiriendo monumentalidad (Puppy). Koons ha incursionado en la
escultura de instalación, la pintura, y la fotografía.
Su obra es una crítica del consumismo, utiliza objetos cotidianos y de valor mínimo para
conseguir su objetivo, al igual que hizo Duchamp, colocándolos en galerías iluminados y
carentes de su antigua función. También son frecuentes en algunas de sus obras chicas pin up,
juguetes hinchables y demás objetos de la clase media. La idea es la principal característica
que debe coronar a la obra. Sus objetos provocan una especie de burla la cual va encaminada
directamente hacia la influencia de la mayoría de la población por los mas media y la
publicidad.
Trata los sueños de la clase media, para el es importante, y siempre lo ha visto como algo
efímero y se basto con lo mas mínimo.

Conclusión
Por lo que hemos visto se trata de un joven artista aun activo,
y con mucho prestigio y con cosas aun por descubrir y por
enseñarnos.
Es un artista al que merece la pena ir a ver por su variedad de
obras, donde predominan los colores alegres y fuertes junto
con brillos y reflejos com si fueran espejos. Sus influencias
son: H.C. Westermann, Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp
He visto algunas de sus obras y lo recomiendo a todo el
mundo , es un artista al que vale la pena tener en una lista de
cosas pendientes por hacer e ir a realizarlo.
“Cuando veo el mundo, no creo que
de mi propio trabajo. Pienso en mi
esperanza de que, a través del arte,
la gente puede tener una idea del
tipo de tejido invisible que contiene
todos nosotros juntos, que mantiene
el mundo unido”
Jeff Koons
“Todos los días me levanto y me
trato de pellizcarme para tomar
ventaja de hoy y utilizar esa libertad
del gesto de hacer lo que realmente
te gusta hacer”
Jeff Koons
