Never mind the fact that most folks don't even get a leg itch from Koons or Warhol (well, maybe Warhol because he's more transparently banal than even Koons). The thrill in looking at their work is being in the presence of multi-millions of dollars, exactly the same as going to Barney's and looking at $10,000 suits or handbags. WC
I saw Koons work a few months ago,Here in LA, and that is exactly what I felt. I feel the same way about all the latest gigantic bronzes being made all over by sculptors who present a tiny little insignificant model to the computer created enlargements that cost millions of dollars to copy. Koons is only one of many that can afford or get the backing create " Insignificant beans" into monuments. mando
