The David Rubenstein Show: Jeff Koons

American artist Jeff Koons, known for his paintings, sculptures and installations, like Balloon Dog, Puppy and Play-Doh, sits down with David Rubenstein to talk about his work and where he finds inspiration, often drawing from popular culture and everyday objects. He also explains why he believes art should be "accessible." In this week's episode of "The David Rubenstein Show: Peer to Peer Conversations," Koons reflects on his early days working at the MoMA membership desk and later as a commodities broker on Wall Street. He says his primary ambition was to "participate" in the dialogue of the art world and be part of a community. This interview was recorded February 2 in New York.
