Widely regarded for his diverse practice, Jeff Koons uses a photorealistic and commercial aesthetic that frequently comprises smooth, highly reflective surfaces.
Jeff speaks in conversation with NGV Director Tony Ellwood, about his career, artistic motivations and his work Venus 2016–20 which was part of the NGV Triennial and is currently on display in the NGV’s Federation Court.
