About Koons Taschen Book – Hardcover – Holzwarth, Schneider, Siegel

This exclusive Jeff Koons Taschen hardcover book is part of Taschen’s Basic Art Series 2.0 and it features the creations of the American contemporary pop artist, Jeff Koons. Koons’ works are characterized at once for their immediate accessibility and art historical eloquence. From basketball tanks to flower puppies, his instantly recognizable work frolics with banal imagery as much as it integrates cultural references such as Surrealism and Pop Art. Koons’ art revels in visual pleasure, but also in the power to affront. He has made his name as much for stainless-steel rabbits as he has with his sinister sculpture of Michael Jackson, or his sexually explicit photographic series with then-wife Cicciolina. The result is mega-artist status. An indisputable king of contemporary visual culture, Koons is lauded by collectors, institutions, and the public alike. With landmark works and concise texts by Katy Siegel, Hans Werner Holzwarth, and Eckhard Schneider, this book offers the complete Koons at a glance, introducing an art world giant from his early inflatable flowers through to today.
