Jeff Koons Trying Quotations

I was trying to make art that my son could look on in the future and would realize I was thinking about him very much during these times... that he can look and see my dad's thinking about me, but to also embed in these things something that is bigger than all of us.

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.

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.

I'm always trying to create work that doesn't make viewers feel they're being spoken down to, so that they feel open participation.

This thing got jammed down our throats, ... To me it just didn't make any sense. Even to this day, we're trying to think about how we're going to build roads out there.

I try to be a truthful artist and I try to show a level of courage. I enjoy that. I'm a messenger.

I don't like being naïve about the market, and I always try to make things as great as I can. Then I hope that there's an audience that enjoys them, and that hopefully those things get protected.

I try to create work that doesn't make viewers feel they're being spoken down to, so they feel open participation.
