Just in case you missed the amazing Jeff Koons exhibit at the Whitney museum in NYC – here is a bit of it.   I had the opportunity to see this exhibit.  I waited in line in the rain.  They told me there was no good time to go and that the museum experienced a line to get in the entire 4 mos Koons work was showing.

Jeff Koons is regarded as one of the most important, influential, popular, and controversial artists.  You will see what I mean as you scroll. This (I would say) is his most iconic piece.  Balloon Dog.  The orange balloon dog sold at a Christie’s auction for $58 million making Koons the highest paid artist ever.

This type pf Koons art is called Banality – which means to  embrace without embarrassment our childhood affection for toys .  Otherwise recognized as Michael Jackson and Bubbles.  Kinda creepy.

This was some photo shoot.

I do appreciate that he has tried so many mediums, but does this look good?

Hey, is this adult Disneyland?

Arrow loved all the colors!

And He thought this was play-dough

It’s a piece of cake.

This is where we saw Koons early work.  I am not sure I understood the 50 piece Hoover vacuum instillation.

Jeff took a shot at advertising.  I think all the greats try it.  Wasn’t Mark Arsenal in advertising once?

Hennessy the civilized way to lay down the law.  Does this mean – drink this now so I can get you to do what I want you to do?

Yes, 2 basketballs floating in a fish tank.  $900,000

He too worked at Nike.

This isn’t the Jackson 5.

I love your work Jeff, but what is this?   If you missed NYC you can go see for yourself at the Musée is Paris.
