| JEFF KOONS (b. 1955, 'Balloon Rabbit' and
'Balloon Puppy' Acrylic Magnets Condition: Mint Shipping: Free Acrylic magnet set features Koons' iconic Balloon Rabbit and Balloon puppy. Genuine artist's merchandise. Dimensions: 4" x 1-1/2" x 1/4". BRAND NEW. ©Jeff Koons. Koons remains faithful to his works that, over the years, have aspired to "communicate with the world" through a visual vocabulary filtered through advertising and the toy and entertainment industries, taking us to the borderline between artistic language and popular culture. Blurring the lines between art and pop culture, Koons' images of blow-up animals whimsically evoke memories of childhood. The gift-boxed collection of two mugs includes a can of illy for auto drip coffeemakers and a Koons Collection Brochure. Jeff Koons is among the most controversial and intriguing artists to emerge in the past decade. Like Marcel Duchamp and Andy Warhol before him, he is concerned with the transformation of everyday objects into art, and takes such post-modern issues as high and low culture, context and commoditization of art as the central focus of his work. Banal or original, Jeff Koons has brought out the essential from Pop Art, one of the most notable avant-garde movements of the 20th century. From the outset of his controversial career, Koons turned the traditional notion of the work of art and its context inside out. Focusing on unexpected yet banal objects as models for his work, from vacuum cleaners and inflatable flowers to novelty drink caddies, china figurines, and children's toys, he eschewed typical standards of 'good taste' in art, instead embracing what he perceives as conventional, distinctly American, middle-class values to expose the vulnerabilities of aesthetic hierarchies and value systems. Koons's declared strategies are to make art beautiful, to strive for objectivity, to give back the familiar, and to reflect, and thus empower, the viewer. Working his way through conceptual constructs such as the new, the banal and the heavenly, his work has evolved from its literal, deadpan beginnings into more baroque manifestations that oscillate between abstraction, pure spectacle, and archetype.
