The Bee's Knee : Jeff Koons

Jeff Koons, a favorite artist of mine, is Wonderland's first (of many) bee's knee.

Jeff Koons was born in York, Pennsylvania in 1955. He studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He received a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of ARt in 1976. His work has been exhibited internationally and is in numberous public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), Versailles in Paris, Tokyo Metropolitan Museum in Tokyo, and many more.

One of his more noteable works and most recognizable would be his Balloon Flower which was unveiled at 7 World Trade Center in New York City. He has received numberous awards and honors, and has lectured at many universities and institutions, including the likes of Harvard, Yale, Columbia, etc.

My main focus as of now is Guilty, a Yacht designed by Koons owned by famous art collector Dakis Joannou. Koons used inspiration from a World War 1 camouflage pattern. It's as creative and unique as it is beautiful.
