Taschen turns the big 25, and Jeff Koons is a Happy Clam!

Ohhhhhhh man the invite we’ve been waiting for 25 years. Taschen Books turns 25 this year and in the celebration (bitches) mayhem comes to us a serious limited edition book on Jeff Koons.

This exhaustive monograph begins with a biographical essay by Interview magazine editor-in-chief Ingrid Sischy that puts his work into context and tells his personal story. Arranged in chronological chapters by work groups, alongside hundreds of large-format images tracing Koons’s career from 1979 to today. Rounding off the book are an extended bibliography and a lavishly illustrated biography. Fans will find in this publication not only a sumptuous book-object, but also the most comprehensive study of the artist’s work ever published. Due out April 2008 suggested retail price 1,000.00 USD. Get some!!
