Among curators and art collectors and others in the art world Koons' work is labeled as Neo-pop or Post-Pop, as part of an 80s movement in reaction to the pared-down art of Minimalism and Conceptualism in the previous decade. Like many artists, Koons resists being labeled with comments such as this: "A viewer might at first see irony in my work... but I see none at all. Irony causes too much critical contemplation."
The crucial point of Koons is to reject an alleged hidden meaning of a work of art. The meaning is only what you perceive at the first glance, there is no gap between what the work is in itself and what is perceived.
