Jeff Koons, the contemporary artist known for his mirror-polished, stainless steel balloon animals, laid off fourteen staff members after they tried to unionize. Koons operates a studio in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, where assistants help bring his often larger-than-life works to fruition. Koons has earned a reputation for being hard on employees after a number of former staffers went public with their experiences working under the art world superstar.
