Happy Birthday Wishes Today To Artist Jeff Koons Who Was Born on This Day in 1955 in York , Pennsylvania.

Koons rose to prominence in the mid-1980s as part of a generation of artists who explored the meaning of art in a media-saturated era.

Drawing from the visual language of advertising, marketing, and the entertainment industry, Koon’s work tests the boundaries between art and popular culture.

He is widely renowned for his striking sculptures.

“I believe in advertisement and media completely. My art and my personal life are based in it. The art world would probably be a tremendous reservoir for everybody involved in advertising “
