Presenting Art Porn 20 Years On

Jeff Koons

Born Through Porn

When one of Jeff Koons’ first major, highly controversial exhibitions, “Made in Heaven”, was set to return to the public after 20 years in hiding, Watson & Company was brought in to commemorate the event. First shown in 1990, the work — which depicts Koons and his now ex-wife, Italian porn star Ilona Staller, engaged in graphic sex acts — caused an outrage so huge it helped to make Jeff Koons, well, Jeff Koons. To help spread the good word of the exhibition’s return, W&CO created some provocative print advertising and a limited edition pink cloth-bound book.

“When people make judgments they close all the possibility around them.”

“Art is about profundity. It’s about connecting to everything that it means to be alive, but you have to act.”
