Reflecting on 20 years of making art, Jeff Koons talks to Hans Ulrich Obrist about his vocation and its frequently controversial highlights. Koons makes acknowledgement here of determinative influences such as Marcel Duchamp, Salvador Dal� and Andy Warhol, and elucidates his sense of the legacy of Pop art and his own transformations of that legacy.
