Tonight, filmmaker John Waters takes to the stage to chat with artist Jeff Koons. Koons has made a name for himself with his massive colorful reproductions of objects like balloon animals. Last fall, his stainless steel sculpture titled Balloon Dog Orange became the most expensive work by a living artist sold at auction.
