Jeff Koons: "The public is ready-made"
Koons made a name for himself in the 1980's, as a result he set up a factory like studio in New York, and employed over 30 staff. His factory worked in a similar mode to that of Andy Warhol and the studio of Damien Hirst.
Koons received extreme reactions to his work, critic Amy Dempsey described his Balloon Dog as "an awesome presence...a massive durable monument".
"Is it important that your work be famous?"
Koons- "There is a difference between being famous and being significant. I am interested in my work's significance- anything that can enrich our lives and make them vaster- but I'm not really interested in the idea for fame's sake.
