Behind the Scenes with Jeff Koons

Tate Shots visits pop art super star Jeff Koons as he–sounding like an over earnest high school art teacher–takes us around his busy New York studio. It’s a fascinating glimpse into the behind the scenes away from the glamour.

It may or may not be a surprise to you depending on your familiarity with this topic, but the intimate technical involvement of assistants in the creation and realization of the artist’s works is something that’s gone on for years and years (Paging Rembrandt). They were just called “apprentices” back then.
