KOONS, Jeff.
Koons.
Limited to 1500 numbered copies, each signed by Jeff Koons. This exhaustive monograph, the most comprehensive study of the artist's work yet published, includes a biographical essay by Interview magazine editor-in-chief Ingrid Sischy, as well as a text by Eckhard Schneider's analyzing Koons from a European perspective. Arranged in chronological chapters by work groups, the main body of the book features art historian and critic Katy Siegel's detailed analyses alongside hundreds of large-format images tracing Koons's career from 1979 to date. Rounding off the book are an extended bibliography and a lavishly illustrated biography. The book covers everything from Koons's initial break-through conceptual sculptures, the large stainless-steel blowups of toys, the notorious series of paintings, photos and sculptures depicting him having sex with his then-wife, the Hungarian-born naturalized-Italian porn star Ilona Staller, and Puppy, the 43-foot tall topiary sculpture of a West Highland White Terrier puppy executed in a variety of flowers on a steel substructure, now installed at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain.
