کتاب جف کونز

Throughout his career Koons has composed a ‘”fantastic America made of art, schmaltz and emotion”, to use the words with which Warhol describes and interprets American culture.
Original materials, personal recollections and biographical narratives make this book indispensable to be able to read Koons’ famous series through the prism of his biography, and the way in which his individual history intersects with that of his country.
Ranging from his upbringing in rural Pennsylvania to his fascination with popular culture, this volume offers an unconventional view of Jeff Koons and his work, tracing the personal influences and cultural histories that have shaped the artist’s unique formal vocabulary.
Published to accompany the major exhibition currently underway in Doha, the catalog features an interview by the curator with Jeff Koons and essays by art critic Dodie Kazanjian and writer and artist Sophia Al Maria.
