  • “I was using banality to communicate that the things we have in our history are perfect. No matter what they are they’re perfect. They can’t be anything else but perfect. It’s our past and it’s our being, the things that we respond to, and they’re perfect. And I used it to remove judgment and to remove the type of hierarchy that exists. I don’t like to use the word ‘kitsch,’ because kitsch is automatically making a judgment about something. I always saw banality as a little freer than that.” (The artist cited in Norman Rosenthal, Jeff Koons: Conversations with Norman Rosenthal, London, 2014, p. 140)

    “Banality was about communicating to the bourgeois class. I wanted to remove their guilt and shame about the banality that motivates them and which they respond to…to embrace their own history so that they can move on and actually create a new upper class instead of having culture debase them.” (The artist in Angelika Muthesius, ed., Jeff Koons, Cologne, 1992, p. 28)

  • “Buster Keaton was Christ. I wanted to have a spiritual authoritarian figure there, in the Garden of Eden, so that people wouldn’t feel afraid to just give in to the banality. The little animated bird on his shoulder is like the Holy Spirit, and there’s a miniature pony instead of a donkey, but this is like Christ.” (Jeff Koons in Taschen. 2007)

  • “Popples (1988) is a quintessential example of this contradictory state. Tacky in appearance, this odd, imaginary creature could easily have been won in a bottle toss at the state fair.” (ON Jeff Koons, Sothebys.com, essay, April 24, 2022)

    “The sculpture’s porcelain form, though taut and ultimately breakable, appears pliant, almost sagging, as if its stuffing needs a bit of fluffing up. Such is the miracle of Koons’s exacting demands of his medium along with his uncanny ability to create a sense of schadenfreude with the friendliest of imagery.” ON Jeff Koons, Sothebys.com, essay, April 24, 2022)

    “Everybody, grew up around this material. I try not to use it in a cynical manner. I use it to penetrate mass consciousness—to communicate to people.” (Jeff Koons, quoted in Sothebys.com essay, April 24, 2022)

  • “With Ushering in Banality I felt that God was on my side and that I really didn’t care what anybody thought of this work. I think of this as autobiographical. That little boy in the back is me, I was ushering in banality. I felt that what I was doing was very moral, that’s why these cherubs are there.” (Jeff Koons, Taschen, 2007, p. 274)

    “I know from my own experience of where I came from, what my past has been, what things I survived, that it’s about real experience. So that’s why I would make works like Ushering in Banality, Puppy or Balloon Dog. It’s about human history.” (Jeff Koons for Wallpaper. At home with Jeff Koons)

    “I believe that the only way to find transcendence in life is to find something greater than the self. It's really love that we're talking about.” (Jeff Koons for Ocula. Jeff Koons in His Own Words January 2022)
