He’s vehemently disliked for good reason. He abs his work make a joke of all of us.

oh vanity 😂😂😂😂 you had to say multimillionaire you know that’s poor now you have to a billionaire 😂😂😂😂

I don’t believe you

The kid was 1 y o

And the wigged, white powdered faces go Ooooh Aaaaaah 👏

This is an actual question I do have and I'm asking you with all the respect: how is an art class when studying Koons balloon dogs? I mean, any regular not trained person can make a balloon dog...

@@carloscardenas1 I get it. When I was assigned this class as an elective toward my business degree, I was skeptical. But, there is a process and rationality behind it all, from the medium used to the style depicted. Part of this class is learning to be an active participating audience. Not every piece of "art" is for every person.

Other people do his work for him. Don’t be fooled.

@@andreamenter4028 just wait untill you learn how Michelangelo did his work lmao

Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Reubens, and so many others all used assistants. Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel was done thanks to the great help of innumerable assistants that painted the background and figures. Are they all sarcastic when they said it was 'their' art?

@@JamesSmithKZfaq The reason the Sistine Chapel took 4 years to paint is because Michaelangelo was never satisfied with the quality of his assistants work, and so painted most of it himself. The only parts his assistants painted were backgrounds. He even fired the person who mixed colors for him. Vast difference between all those artists and Koons, even those who had many assistants. They were all Masters of their craft .Jeff Koons hires assistants because he himself cannot paint or sculpt. He doesn't so much as paint even a single brush stroke himself.

​@tthomas184 seriously? He didn't paint the stupid party hat?

🙈 That's what I was thinking as well.

I heard Elon musk doesn't build the rockets himself either. Wtf. And I can also not believe ppl like seeing things they've never seen before

@@martynwonder never seen a balloon dog? Oh, ok.

@@tthomas184 yeah you got a good point .There is no difference between seeing a balloon dog , and seeing the sculpture "Balloon dog".🧠

@@martynwonder fyi, Koons tried to sue other artists making sculptures of balloon dogs claiming it was his concept and they were merely copying him. The court noted he was copying balloon dogs. He lost.

@@tthomas184 it's funny how they only started making them after he already made it famous. And not before .Now that's original👍

I wonder if the ex-wife was timing it with her plans to take him away since it is random. A celebration to remember... and that's it... we out. Interesting story now tied to that piece.

@@hummersd I wondered about that myself as I was trying to make sense of such an odd situation.

@@hummersd He was a nasty egotistical abuser... hopefully that painting will forever remind him that he got what he deserved. His son lives happily with his mother in Italy and married a gorgeous, smart and caring woman.... AWAY from him !!

I have. Just because you haven't experienced something doesn't mean it's odd or not happening.

Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Reubens, and so many others all used assistants. Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel was done thanks to the great help of innumerable assistants that painted the background and figures. Are they all frauds?

Yeah and, Elon Musk doesn't make rockets, Michael Jackson didn't make music, and Tarantino doesn't make movies.

@@martynwonder Yeah and the real Artist of the Sistine Ceiling was the Pope.

@@tthomas184 yeah, the pope said to Mike: hey look at this drawing I made could you help me transfer it onto the ceiling.

@@martynwonder yeah, the Pope handed Michaelangelo a scribble of His Concept with a note saying Make it Cool looking.

Dumbed down art for dumbed down people . But it sure is shiny.

Huh?! In a ton of creative genres there are assistants to help. That's been for CENTURIES. But, that doesn't mean that each person that helped is the artist. Because they're not. Someone playing an Extra in a movie doesn't have their name up on the screen ya know. From photographers to comedians to sculpters, to other genres of art, they all have assistants to help. Some help because they respect the artist and want to learn for their own creativity. Some are pure fans already in the field and know the value of being around someone that could mentor them. Even a nobody glass blower asks for help within the shop where they're creating. Nobody with common sense is expecting to also be called the artist. Everyone isn't the CEO of a company just because they work there. But to you, they should be I guess. 🙄

@@LokiDWolf I used the word "artisan" for a reason. We clearly do not align in our views considering how triggered you are that I merely suggest giving credit to those who are holding this person up in the first place. I think it's shameful how these "artists" use people, and the way they do it is by exploiting the exact reasons you wrote in defence of it. "Some help because they respect the artist and want to learn for their own creativity. Some are pure fans already in the field and know the value of being around someone that could mentor them. " Also they are someone that could easily give the credit and help them establish a name for themselves, but thats just too much, they would hate it if the illusion of these artists where tarnished by the fact they need help to achieve the visions they have. As far as the CEO comment, I resonate strongly with Marx's suggestion that the the proletariat should rise up and seize the means of production. So theres that I guess.... I think its interesting you draw an analogy with film when film is one of the model examples of an industry that gives credit to so many of the individuals who contributed to the finished piece, Maybe the artworld could start by looking there for inspiration and its a good spot to start the discussion of who should get credits, you bring up a good point about extras. "That's been for CENTURIES. " Right, thats a great reason to not examine why we do or don't do things...

@@LokiDWolf its a bit different when you dont even put your hand in the making process, of the copied work. And than say you made it. Thats like picking a 3d print model(copy of of someone elses desing), letting the printer(or workers) make it and than say you made it and slap your name on it:D

​@@VoidToForm Assistants shouldn't get any (artistic) recognition for their work imo. You have to realize that this artwork would never have been made if it wasn't for Koons. He will look for people with the skill to make what he wants,if they dont wanna help, he asks someone else.(And it doesn't matter how easy or difficult it is to make, nor how ugly people think it is.) You seem to confuse craftsman and artist. The craftsman can often easily be replaced, the artist can't. Assistants can also be specialists in a certain medium , but that is usually the reason they got asked/hired. If the metal worker made a balloon dog like that before Koons asked him ,maybe he would get some artistic credit, cuz craftsmanship hasn't been the main focus of art ever, I think.

@@martynwonder Using your logic, one could say the real artist of the Sistine Ceiling was the Pope, and Michaelangelo was merely the craftsman he hired to help him realize his vision. If Mike had turned him down, he could always hire someone else. When I worked in the field of prop making, it wasn't unusual for the so called creative director to send a generic drawing of a weapon consisting of a literal scribble with a note attached. It read: Make it COOL looking! This and Koons who doesn't design much of his work either and is incapable of making any of it, is what passes for art and creativity with some.

At 0.33 I meant.

I think it's safe to say that's Michael Jackson and the chimp he used to hang out with.

Yes, that was him with his chimpanzee pet Bubbles

@@mirelamujcic224 Oh, wow. Ok, thanks for responding!

Some do, some don't. Many Artists also engage video or performance in addition...

I guess you missed where Koons tried suing people who made Ballon dog sculptures, saying he invented them. People who had been creating dog sculptures out of balloons for decades knew what a bogus claim this was. He lost. Beautiful cars are designed. They are not made by ripping off other people's work.

@@tthomas184 i did actually miss that part lol ☠️ that's not cool

@Broskisnowski and Fallingwater is a house Lol what’s your point

I’m not saying he’s not an artist, but I could never get into his work

@iSchmidity13 The architect designed a house that was never achieved before, from scratch. Koon reproducted an existing sculpture.

That's why art is subjective.

True Art is subjective but it requires true connoisseurship and an educated eye to recognize truly exceptional Art from mediocrity in Art. The noted Art Historian and critic Robert Hughes recognized and noted the mediocrity of Koon’s work that caters to the mediocre taste of those that place it on a higher plane because of the ridiculous and vulgar high prices that it garners in the Art market and at Art auctions. Seriously, Koon’s work is still remains mediocre and it is over priced and leaves a great deal to be desired.

And water is also wet.

Buyers with this kind of money are not naïve. They know they're buing trash, merely as a status symbol or sometimes as a money scam. What's worse is when governments or city halls spend taxpayers money on monstrosities such as these.

Hmm.. I love how you framed this! I think I see what you see, but from a slightly different angle.. what you’re describing is also the magic in movies - the power to suspend the audience’s disbelief.. and that’s no small feat.. especially when the audience KNOWS it isn’t “real” lol.. and in “real” life, the audience has no chance of buying in unless the person playing the role (Koons) buys in 1000%.. and I may or may not like the compositions and I may or may not feel a certain way about their fabrication.. but I’ve always judged artists in all mediums by whether or not I BELIEVE them.. and I definitely believe Koons.. which is the only compliment that really matters, I think..

Koons' art is actually deeply intellectual, and not really intended to be sold as ornaments or at a garage sale, but obviously nobody is required to care about that.

@@scrambledegg7908 Deeply intellectual? You ever heard him talk? Its BS mumbo jumbo about transcendence. Robert Hughes compared it to the self assured patter of a blow dried evangelist.

@@gbmbg114 Look at the art he collects and hangs in his own home. Old masters. Compare that with Picasso who actually did believe in his own work. Koons makes it he doesn't believe in it.

Why ??

Ive always been so pressed about that, old master artists did this too. Like, do ya own work or credit the actual peoplw

I love Erwin Wurm. And think Koon's work is zero.

something interesting about them to me, taking something that is very impermanent, a balloon dog, and making it rather permanent because stainless steel

😂😂😂😂😂

for reals

He is an artist, he has a concept in his head.

True, I can never understand or find out how he became this popular.
