Art helped give me confidence.
Jeff Koons Quotes
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.

Jeffrey "Jeff" Koons was born in York, Pennsylvania, USA. He is an American artist known for working with popular culture subjects and his reproductions of banal objects-such as balloon animals produced in stainless steel with mirror-finish surfaces.

He earned a BA degree from Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore in 1976. He studied painting at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
