Working with Squarespace, the famous artist designed a new template to showcase his artwork. And you can use it, too. For the first time ever, Jeff Koons’ entire catalog is on a website. The newly revamped jeffkoons.com presents over four decades of Koons’ artwork in a comprehensive digital format. This marks a significant milestone for Koons, making his expansive body of work accessible to audiences around the world. To publish his work, he has collaborated with David Lee, chief creative officer of Squarespace, to create a special template to match his vision. The company will offer this template, called “Reflect” to all customers.“For quite some time, I really wanted to update the website that I had,” Koons explains in an interview. His previous website, created 15 years ago, no longer represented his work, or his vision, effectively. When Squarespace approached him with an offer to collaborate, Koons says he was thrilled: “I enjoyed all the work that Squarespace did prior [with other artists],” he says. The web publishing company had previously collaborated with three other creative powers including musician Björk, Magnum Photos, and music producer Rick Rubin. Koons will be the fourth of these collaborations. Continue reading at 'Fast Company'
