Strand Notes
An in-depth study of artist Jeff Koons's entire oeuvre to date. From kinky to kitsch to conceptual, Koons's art is anything but conformist. Stirring the art world in the 1980s with his unapologetic basketball sculptures & stainless steel toy blow-ups, Koons has been regarded as something of an 'enfant terrible', a reputation confirmed in the early 90s via works depicting him having sex with then wife Cicciolina, the Italian porn star/politician. This exhaustive monograph begins with an interview conducted by Ingrid Sischy that puts the Koons oeuvre in context. Arranged in chronological chapters. Addenda. Illus. 606p.
