Artist listed in Epstein's black book
Jeff Koons, a prominent contemporary artist, is mentioned in recently released Epstein files (January 2026) documenting his attendance at a September 2013 dinner party at Jeffrey Epstein's Upper East Side residence. Koons confirmed attending the dinner, which also included director Woody Allen and MIT professor Neil Gershenfeld, years after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor. Emails indicate Epstein attempted to visit Koons's studio in November 2013, though Koons denies the visit occurred. Koons has stated he "did not have a relationship with Epstein" beyond attending the dinner. His inclusion in the Epstein files represents documented social contact with the convicted sex offender but does not establish criminal accountability, civil liability, or victim status.
