Jeff Koons with Joachim Pissarro
Joachim Pissarro | The Brooklyn Rail | 1st December 2025
Koons divides opinions, and his first New York show in years is no different. The linked piece describes a studio visit where Koons enthuses over 18th century porcelain figurine that have inspired him. Sounding a bit like a retailer, he highlights his personal involvement with his new works. One writer protests that these glossy works are “intentionally stealing from the past. Poor [Koons]. He has no idea that no one will be thinking about this forgettable show by this time next year”.
