The Post-Pop Superstar: An in-depth study of Koons' entire oeuvre to date   Which living artists keep their price? Who will be regarded as an investment 30 years from now? Both limited edition artist monographs of this book sold out in months, attaining instant investment status.

Michael and Bubbles in porcelain. No artist since Warhol has made the banal appear so profound, and the trivial carry such import. Includes a biographical essay, analyis of Koons from a European perspective, and a scholarly study of his work. With hundreds of large format full color images, it traces Koons’ career from 1979 to today. A sumptuous objet d’art—he says so himself—and the definitive overview of Koons’ work.   Text in English, French, and German
