The series of works “Made in Heaven” is the most scandalous and provocative; it brought him worldwide fame. In the photographs and sculptural compositions, Koons depicted himself with his wife, porn star Cicciolina, in indecent poses. These erotic and even pornographic images caused a storm of indignation among art critics and the public, who could not come to terms with such defiant kitsch and neglect of public morality. Living people are the art object in this work, and pornography is elevated to the rank of a work of art.
