Copyright is a joke of our modern civilisation limiting artists to some arbitrary measure of "originality".

hi Jeff, I remember when you took me to your Loft and showed me your art and I tried to buy a vacuum cleaner from you. you were the best broker but whoever knew that you would become the world famous Creator of Art
-hi Jeff, it's been a long time since you invited me to your Loft to show me your art. I remember I tried to buy a vacuum cleaner from you because I was moving into my new apartment in the city the next day. I also remember that you were the most creative and passionate broker and who will ever forget your conversations with 95-year-old Floyd Barger. it's been a long time and I still have the same apartment in the city and also reside in South Florida. best regards, Ed Lerner Clayton brokerage of St Louis.
@@EffySalcedo He literally doesn't construct the art pieces himself. He fucking makes other people do the work and then proceeds to sell it for multiple millions. And also his "ideas" are pretty whack. Taking a balloon dog and making it shiny and big is certainly not what I would call innovative, lmao.
@@cereal2373 @Ufuk Demirkol Yup thats Jeff alright, its his style to hire lots of talented artist to complete his art at a time frame, I like how he creates jobs this way, unlike some other presenter they just pick up stuff, call it ready-mades and declare it works-of-art. Yes, I absolutely share your sensibilities when you say (some) of his "ideas" are pretty whack, that also apply to Jeff Koons reflective giant "Baloon Dogs" sculpture as part of the celebration series, its meant to be a transponder, meaning when you look at the art work you see a reflection of YOURSELF ( as part of it ), what does it celebrate ? self amusement? and may I include another giant sculpture, The Statue of Liberty, does it celebrate anything ? if so then what ? Is self amusement in itself a cause for celebration? or is liberty in itself a cause for celebration? nowadays as most peoples ideas becomes whacked there should be a fitting monument for it.
Can you reach out to more artists like this? Maybe a British one like Damien Hirst? The art is taken from a different approach depending on who the artist is.
@Sam Farnsworth Well. Jeff Koons is a contemporary pop artist who is, I guess, best known for his kitsch sculptures, such as his breakthrough works (in the 80's or 90's), in which he was having sex with his then girlfriend Cicciolina, an Italian pornstar. To me he is almost a caricature of a modern artist, as if it was all a performance of some kind... but it isn't, it's strictly business. I have never seen a piece of his that would have any substance at all, just surface level eye candy with a lot of production value. He is very rich, so he has a factory of craftsmen / women producing all his vacuous artwork... super convenient, of course, but it's as if he took Andy Warhol's playbook and removed everything artistic in it, just appropriating the business model to make a lot of money. I'm sure many people love his stuff and think it's 'whimsical' or 'spectacular' or whatever, but to me he has always come across as a total phony. I even watched a long documentary about him once, to see if I had misjudged him, but no. He's just a very successful, cynical businessman, dealing in what he calls 'art'. I'm sure many people here will disagree with my grumpy take on Koons, which is fine. Google him and make up your own mind... Personally, I'll pass.
@@epictetus9221 he helped me open up doors in myself. to embrace parts that i was afraid of. thats what his work communicates to me, to not be ashamed of my desires because theyre on the wrong end of some social hierarchy. his work is ‘spectacular’ in production specifically as a way of embracing and properly glorifying objects that our culture has been ashamed of. the ‘kitch’ that elites degrade others for enjoying
1:20 says it all
A masterclass on how to avoid copyright and hiring other artist to do the work for you.
Hahahahahahahah 😂
He's only ever prevailed in a single copyright lawsuit, I think he lost in all the other ones.

How to say "I don't know anything about art" without Saying "I don't know anything about it..." Lol
I've taken the class and I just loved it. He is such a sweetheart and such a great teacher.
Yes after some months of studying Jeff Koons' art I must say his Popeye is a work of pure human genius. I'm not kidding 😁
Can i know why?

Any chance we’ll get instructors that’ll cover automotive subjects soon?
I would be interested if masterclass have one on working out / body building , something like that, which teaches us some workout techniques, diet etc
check out joe holder
Can we have a real artist’s masterclass pls ?
THE major building block of art is FAME .FAME (in the right place) is the only reason that Jeff Koon's "art" is worth so much money.
Love it! Encouraging, so right about art being in us and when the lights are off we artists are still creating !
Thank you so much for this! I’m so excited
Be learning about you in school because you're so talented and so amazing

What could this man possibly have to teach us?
I want a masterclass by Paul McCarthy. It would be awesome
Wow. This is one of the most surprising and exciting clases, thanks
So true
What’s the music at 0:34 please?
it's Adam Tell - Child Eyes. He's a great artist and deserves way more recognition. Never disappoints
@@hprcounters yess truly a gem
I may be afraid of balloons because they usually POP anytime, but seeing this seems interesting.
Important
Impressive 👍👍
Good sharing
Sicko
jeff koons isnt an artist, the title hampartist is more suitable to him
why? why is that?
Wow
i think you mean scam artist
When people say Jeff Koons is a scam artist they are actually confirming He is legit. His art is so simple to understand it becomes sophisticated.

You could have asked him to talk about Miguel Angel, Da Vinci, Velazquez, Diego Rivera, etc... Not this "art" Come on!
You have to be kidding... ☹
No :)
