Jeff Koons Quotes

I’m making some of the greatest art being made now. It’ll take the art world ten years to get around to it 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 was always an artist. I was a broker to earn a living, but I was always thinking about my art Picture Quote #1

It’s about the production of the work. I need my workers to stay focused Picture Quote #1

I spend much more time looking at art history and at different references to art than I do at actual objects Picture Quote #1

I try to be a truthful artist and I try to show a level of courage. I enjoy that. I’m a messenger Picture Quote #1

Art to me is a humanitarian act and I believe that there is a responsibility that art should somehow be able to effect mankind, to make the word a better place Picture Quote #1

I believe in advertisement and media completely. My art and my personal life are based in it. I think that the art world would probably be a tremendous reservoir for everybody involved in advertising Picture Quote #1

I believe that my art gets across the point that I’m in this morality theater trying to help the underdog, and I’m speaking socially here, showing concern and making psychological and philosophical statements for the underdog Picture Quote #1

A lot of my work is about sales. And it was about being independent from the art market Picture Quote #1

Art has this ability to allow you to connect back through history in the same way that biology does. I’m always looking for source material Picture Quote #1

Art is about profundity. It’s about connecting to everything that it means to be alive, but you have to act Picture Quote #1

Every day I wake up and I really try to pinch myself to take advantage of today and to use that freedom of gesture to do what I really like to do 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 enjoy all mediums, and I have to say, music is the medium that first made me understand how powerful art could be Picture Quote #1

I like my drawings to be direct. I don’t generally work on them for too long, but that doesn’t mean that they are not works in their own right Picture Quote #1

I like to look at everything and appreciate seeing the different things that have meaning to people Picture Quote #1

Anything you can do to protect the public and allow it to have the confidence that our financial controls are good is very, very positive Picture Quote #1

I think you always, as an artist, feel like you would like to be more and more specific about your intent and your interests Picture Quote #1

I use printers to make prints of the images that I am creating. And I try to have that surface kind of replicated in the painting Picture Quote #1

I’m always working. If I’m not in my studio I become quite nervous Picture Quote #1

If I physically made every work myself, I would get only one or two paintings done a year, if that Picture Quote #1

Whenever you finish an artwork and the viewer comes and views it, at that moment you’ve given up control Picture Quote #1

If I try to articulate every little detail in a drawing, it would be like missing the forest for the trees, so it’s just about getting the outline of the forest Picture Quote #1

The moment we live in is a great time to make art. We have different technologies to play with, and we’re left with the opportunity to focus on our work Picture Quote #1

When I view the world, I don’t think of my own work. I think of my hope that, through art, people can get a sense of the type of invisible fabric that holds us all together, that holds the world together Picture Quote #1

The job of the artist is to make a gesture and really show people what their potential is. It’s not about the object, and it’s not about the image; it’s about the viewer. That’s where the art happens Picture Quote #1

Art is something that happens inside us. We look at things in the world, and we become excited by them. We understand our own possibilities of becoming. And that’s what art is Picture Quote #1

I thought I would call myself a pig before the viewer could, so they could only think more of me Picture Quote #1

The first thing that any good artist has to develop is a sense of independence from the artworld. What really destroys a young artist is insecurity, the fear that everything could be taken away at any moment Picture Quote #1
