In an engaging overview essay, Scott Rothkopf carefully examines the evolution of Koons' work and his development over the past thirty-five years, offering a fresh scholarly perspective on the artist's multi-faceted career. In addition, short essays by a wide range of interdisciplinary contributors--from academics to novelists--probe provocative topics such as celebrity and media, markets and money, and technology and fabrication. Also included are preparatory sketches and plans for sculptures and paintings as well as installation photographs that shed light on Koons' artistic process and trace the development of his work throughout his landmark career. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Koons has risen to international fame making art that reimagines and recontextualizes images and objects from popular culture such as vacuum cleaners, basketballs, and balloon animals. Created with painstaking attention to detail by a team of fabricators, these objects raise questions about taste and popular culture, and position Koons as one of the most lauded and criticized artists working today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Whitney Museum of American Art \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhitney Museum of American Art\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (06\/27\/14-10\/19\/14)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCentre Pompidou \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(11\/26\/14-04\/27\/15)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGuggenheim Museum, Bilbao\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (06\/05\/15-09\/27\/15)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Whitney Museum of American Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300195873\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.32h x 9.65w x 1.24d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/28\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2014 pg. 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/25\/2014 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2015 pg. 792\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Scott Rothkopf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44112750903477,"sku":"9780300195873","price":55.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_622a134c-b400-4434-8c2a-39225efdd738.jpg?v=1715053404","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/jeff-koons-a-retrospective-9780300195873","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
