Original photolithograph in colors on Ragcote paper // Fisherman Golfer by Jeff Koons, created in 1986, is a lithograph that captures the artist’s playful engagement with kitsch and pop culture. The image presents a highly polished, metallic figure of a cartoonish character that combines elements of both a fisherman and a golfer, complete with exaggerated features and accessories such as a fishing rod, a golf club, and various tools. The shiny, reflective surface emphasizes Koons' fascination with consumer culture, using familiar objects to provoke thought about taste, value, and mass production. The sculpture-like quality of the image and its pristine, mirror-like finish underscore the artificiality and humor in Koons’ work, inviting viewers to both admire and question the cultural icons of everyday life.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
