Jeff Koons in "Fantasy" - Season 5 - "Art in the Twenty-First Century" | Art21

Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Jeff Koons, from the "Fantasy" episode in Season 5 of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.

"Fantasy" premiered in October 2009 on PBS.

“Art should be something really powerful,” says Jeff Koons, “but at the same time, there’s morality that comes along with that.” The segment begins in the artist’s busy studio in Manhattan, where his computer-aided but hand-made paintings and sculptures develop slowly, with a large team of dedicated assistants, in the manner of a Renaissance workshop or atelier.

Jeff Koons was born in 1955 in York, Pennsylvania. Learn more about the artist at: https://art21.org/artist/Jeff-Koons
