Last word on Koons ... Beyond Heaven. Today, he has a 16,000 sq ft factory in Chelsea, working with 90 to 120 regular assistants. Koons developed a color-by-numbers system, so that each of his assistants could execute his canvases and sculptures as if they had been done by a single hand. I think art takes you outside yourself, takes you past yourself. I believe that my journey has really been to remove my own anxiety. Thats the key. The more anxiety you can remove, the more free you are to make that gesture, whatever the gesture is. The dialogue is first with the artist, but then it goes outward, and is shared with other people. And if the anxiety is removed everything is so close, everything is available, and its just this little bit of confidence, or trust, that people have to delve into.
