JEFF KOONS"In the mid-80s I was very impressed by Michael Jackson. He was very ambitious so I was impressed by that and curious about his self-transformation and how he would play with images such as himself against Bubbles. There is a sense of radicality, in that he was not going to wait for time, he wasn't going to wait for evolution: a sense of transformation, a sense of transcendence. He was too ambitious, to me. But the way I work, I don't really sit down and think about things in a very analytical way. I trust my intuition and I follow my interests, and I always find that when you focus on those interests, things become very metaphysical. So this is how I would conceive of a work in an intuitive way, and the narrative would develop around it when I would realize that I was presenting Michael Jackson as a Christ-like figure. The sculpture parallels the 'Pieta,' it has a classical, Renaissance, triangular composition."Jeff Koons, excerpted from Jeff Koons: Versailles, Editions Xavier Barral.TITLE LIST JEFF KOONS

 Jeff KoonsIn 2008, Jeff Koons became the first contemporary artist to show work at the Palace of Versailles. What other artist could match Louis XIV's love of the saccharine gesture? Sugared up to the max, Koons here counterposes Versailles' rich detail with his more simplified forms, including a monumental red chocolate-box-style heart, balloon dog and suspended red aluminum lobster. Other works outdo Versailles for kitsch, such as Koons' marble self-portrait, playfully sited amid busts of Louis XIV, his infamous "Michael Jackson and Bubbles" sculpture and his ever-cryptic bare-breasted blonde clutching the Pink Panther. Featured image is "Split-Rocker" (2000). | |
