Jeff Koons
Jeff Koons is an American contemporary artist and sculptor. He’s noted for his use of kitsch imagery, sometimes in sculptural form and extremely large in size (perhaps you’ve seen his massive puppy in your home town) but I remember him most for his pornographic imagery of his ex-wife, Hungarian-born naturalized-Italian porn star Ilona Staller (better known as Cicciolina). His Made in Heaven series of paintings, photos and sculptures portrayed the couple in explicit sexual positions and created even more controversy than he had before. His official site is under construction but you can view a selection of his work here.
