Stuffy, meet the Absurd
I personally love, LOVE Jeff Koons, but he's getting all kinds of shit from stuck up Frenchies over his exhibit at the palaces of Versailles. I mean, people are literally protesting in the street! All blah, blah, America's invading the sanctity of our cultural out posts and cheapening our history, blah, blah, blah!
Of course, the show is called, "Ushering in Banality" but it's totally meant in an artsy, opposite day kind of way.
I'm all for it, the juxtaposition of his work with the art work of the palace is ridiculously awesome and sheds a whole new light on some of his more familiar work.
My favorites below and for the full court press check the NYTimes slideshow.
PS. Doesn't the MJ and Bubbles sculpture just fit right in!
