Since his first solo exhibition which consisted of small-scale assemblages of toys and found objects, his later works evolved into the now iconic monumental pieces which can be found permanently installed at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. His methodical inquiry into the ways in which everyday items become works of art by reflecting our desires draws attention to the continuity of images as they pass through time, combining art historical references with colloquial imagery. This monograph, part of the 2000 Wordsseries published by DESTE, features an essay by Massimiliano Gioni and Natalie Bell, which examines Koons' parallels to Duchamp and the function of readymades over the course of his career. Koons has created a prophecy fueled by the ecstasy of materialism, where the image or object becomes its own ouroboros--consuming itself. 600 10 $a Koons, Jeff, $d 1955- $v Catalogs. 600 10 $a Koons, Jeff, $d 1955- $x Criticism and interpretation. 610 20 $a Dakis Joannou Collection $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Art, American $y 20th century $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Art, American $y 21st century $v Catalogs. 700 1 $a Marta, Karen, $e editor. 700 1 $a Bell, Natalie, $e contributor. 710 2 $a Dakis Joannou Collection, $e host institution. 830 0 $a 2000 words 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317025503.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220202015147.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AB2F1E2AA55F11EAA027EF1497128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
