Jeff Koons — Baccarat Bar Set, from Luxury and Degradation
Jeff Koons

Baccarat Bar Set, from Luxury and Degradation

A gleaming arrangement of crystal Baccarat barware is rendered with slick, commercial precision in this photolithograph on photographic paper. Koons appropriates the visual language of high-end advertising to examine the seductive allure of luxury goods, blurring the line between fine art and consumer culture. From his seminal *Luxury and Degradation* series, the work critiques how status symbols manipulate desire and reinforce class distinctions.
