Artist Jeff Koons can spend years making sure a creation comes out exactly how he wants it to. He broke down some of his most famous pieces to Anderson Cooper.
Jeff Koons is one of the most popular and polarizing artists in the world. In over four decades as a professional artist, Koons has reached a level of commercial success that few painters and sculptors could ever imagine. His works have become iconic: In 2019, one of his most recognizable sculptures, a stainless steel inflatable rabbit,. It set a record for the highest price ever paid at auction for a work by a living artist.
The artist took Cooper to a stone workshop in Pennsylvania to check on the progress. The ballerina was still being hand polished. Ayami Aoyama, the head of Koons' hand finishing department, said that 33,000 hours of handwork had already been put into creating the sculpture. But Koons doesn't do the sculpting or much of the painting himself. He comes up with the ideas and sets the standards but has artisans that do the labor. His studio resembles an art factory, with painters meticulously mixing thousands of colors and following his instructions. There are also dozens of digital assistants and sculptors as well as craftsmen all over the world helping him make his complex pieces.
