Jeff Koons Quotes

I always liked Disney films. To this day I think ‘Bambi’ is great Picture Quote #1

When people make judgments they close all the possibility around them Picture Quote #1

As an artist, I’ve always wanted to participate in the dialogue of art with other artists Picture Quote #1

I went to art school... but I worked at the Museum of Modern Art. I worked in fundraising at the information membership desk.

The entertainment industry, the advertising industry have taken [the] tools from the art world and made themselves much more politically potent. We are really devastated and very impotent right now. A photographer just working for an advertising company has a platform to be much more politically effective in the world than an artist Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe that artists really are interested in money. That’s not the motivation for art Picture Quote #1

I remember being an art student and going to the Whitney in 1974 to see the exhibition of Jim Nutt, the Chicago imagist. It was then I transferred to school in Chicago, all because of that show Picture Quote #1

I believe that art has been a vehicle for me that’s been about enlightenment and expanding my own parameters, to give me courage to exercise the freedom that I have in life Picture Quote #1

I love the gallery, the arena of representation. It’s a commercial world, and morality is based generally around economics, and that’s taking place in the art gallery Picture Quote #1

I try to create work that doesn’t make viewers feel they’re being spoken down to, so they feel open participation Picture Quote #1

People have different ideas, emotional ideas, of what certain words mean, and they think of irony as something that’s more associated with being cynical-it’s kind of a put-down Picture Quote #1

Art’s a very metaphysical activity. It’s something that enriches the parameters of your life, the possibilities of being, and you touch transcendence and you change your life. And you want to change the life of others, too. That’s why people are involved with art Picture Quote #1

I’m in deep in everything, every moment of the day. I create the systems and oversee every aspect of the execution. Every mark on a sculpture and every brush-stroke on a painting is in a controlled situation, exactly as they’d be if I’d have done them myself Picture Quote #1

I think artists are always investigating how to have an economic, political platform. At one time, artists were supported by the Church. Then they were supported also by the state Picture Quote #1

Even in making objects, as soon as you start to get the feeling that some form of craft is coming into place, you realize that everything is wrong. Because craft is really just a fetish. It is wasted energy. It’s about the object, some space which has nothing to do with the human Picture Quote #1
