Overview
- Newly released DOJ emails document a September 4, 2013 dinner at Epstein’s Upper East Side residence that Jeff Koons and his wife accepted by email, with Woody Allen and Neil Gershenfeld listed among attendees.
- In a statement issued via Gagosian, Koons confirmed attending the dinner at Gershenfeld’s invitation and said he had no further relationship with Epstein.
- Emails in the same tranche reference a planned November 8, 2013 stop to “go see Jeff Koons studio,” which Koons says never occurred.
- The disclosures come from roughly 3 million additional “Epstein files” published January 30 that also exposed identities of victims, prompting public outcry.
- Related correspondence in the files highlights wider art‑world ties, including emails involving Leon Black’s art transactions forwarded to Epstein, as reported by ARTnews.
