About the book: This exhaustive monograph is arranged in chronological chapters by work groups. The main body of the book features Katy Siegel’s detailed analyses alongside hundreds of large-format images, tracing Koons’ career from 1979 to today. This publication is not only a sumptuous book-object, but also the most comprehensive study of the artist’s work ever published.
About the artist: Since he stirred up the art world establishment in the 1980s with his unapologetic basketball sculptures and stainless-steel toy blow-ups, Jeff Koons has been known as somewhat of a bad boy. His exploitation of the banal, in the aggrandizement and/or embodiment of kitsch and pop imagery, has become Koons' trademark.
