Art & design styles: from c 1960; Sculpture; Individual artists, art monographs

With sources as diverse as children's art, comic book characters, and figures from classical antiquity, Jeff Koons draws a common thread through cultural history with works that attempt to touch the core of the human psyche. Working through conceptual constructs including the new, the banal, and the sublime, his art has evolved from its literal, staid beginnings in readymades to baroque creations that extol innocence, beauty, sexuality, and happiness in confounding combinations of abstraction, figuration and sumptuous effect.

Highlighting Koons' unique voice, this beautiful new book presents Koons' Hulk Elvis series that for the artist represents both Western and Eastern culture, a sense of a guardian, a protector, that at the same time is capable of bringing the house down.
