Jeff Koons

Yeffrey Koons on January 21, 1955 in York in the state of Pennsylvania, the artist studied at Maryland Institute College of Art and at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago but it is in finance that he will start his career as a broker at Wall Street. Jeff Koons will manage to combine his talents on the stock market and his passion for art by himself becoming the best investment of the 20th century.

Together, they carried out the sulphurous work "Made in Heaven" (made in paradise), where the couple stages themselves and plays on eroticism and more so ambiguity. It is an absolute media success which allows to increase the reputation and the coast & nbsp; of Jeff Koons. In his Balloon Dog series (1994-2000), we feel the weight through the use of polished steel that Lack of the original inflatable version. His work, Balloon Dog (Orange) sold for the astronomical sum of 58.4 million dollars at auction in 2013, made him the most prolific living artist of the time.
