Throughout his career, he has pioneered new approaches to the readymade, tested the boundaries between advanced art and mass culture, and challenged the limits of industrial fabrication in works of great beauty and emotional intensity. His elevation of familiar objects?inflatable toys, basketballs, vacuum cleaners?from the mundane to the exceptional shines a hard light on the world in which we live and art's place within it. Koons has also transformed the relationship of artists to the cult of celebrity and the global market. This volume surveys thirty-five years of the artist's work, ranging from iconic sculptures to previously unpublished renderings. In an engaging essay that covers key themes, formal approaches, and complex techniques, Scott Rothkopf highlights the numerous ways Koons has broken ground or set new limits for artists. In addition, short essays by a group of interdisciplinary contributors cover a variety of critical topics to illuminate the breadth of Koons's cultural reach. Also included are preparatory sketches, installation photographs, and other archival materials that offer new insights and contexts in which to consider the development of Koons's landmark career.
