With the art world divided on his genius, his fans and collectors are not. With iconic Jeff Koons' artworks like Michael Jackson and Bubbles (1988), Puppy (1992), and Balloon Dog (Orange) (1994-2000), his importance in contemporary art and American culture is firm. Jeff Koons' sculptures are described as allegorical with psychological dimensions that question popular culture, consumerism, sex, taste, and pleasure.
