Jeff Koons and Glenn Fuhrman | In Conversation | Gagosian Quarterly

Last month, The FLAG Art Foundation hosted a conversation between Jeff Koons and FLAG founder Glenn Fuhrman. Koons is included in FLAG’s current group exhibition "Cecily Brown, Jeff Koons, Charles Ray," on view through this Saturday, May 14, 2016. Koons and Fuhrman discuss the works in the show, such as "Cat on a Clothesline" (1994-2001) and "Winter Bears" (1988); the dichotomy between sexuality and childhood innocence in Koons oeuvre; remaking "Made in Heaven" with Lady Gaga; and what drives Koons to make more work.

24:37 Manet not Monet painted "Olympia" a bit of a faux pas there Jeff, but he corrected himself a bit later luckily.

Koons is a brilliant (con)-artist, amusing to see how he's been able to lure millions of $$$ from the rich/art-clueless

There is a rumor that one of his ancestors wrote "the Emperor's New Clothes" ;-)

27:20 "It feels that all the freedom that we have is just parrallel along us..."? What does he say exactly?

[@JadenJahci]

"Parralleling us"..................aka...........along side us..................so to say,,......never converging. Sincerely, Willis Drummond

[@LTPTENSIDR]

Thanks a lot! He means somehow that we don't use our freedom fully if I understand him correctly.

[@JadenJahci]

interface Yes,...As Artists we are free to do as we please,...So,...then why do we dare not do that which pleases us? Have we not yet found what pleases us? And,... Why is that? For we are free,...to converge with our artistic freedom that is always there by our side,... waiting for us,... to ask "It",... "Can I have this dance?". What shall we fear,my Dear? (A pulled Groin?) Best Wishes, Jaws
