Jeff Koons one of the main representatives of modern art, is still producing kitsch, in fact he is now stealing beautiful traditional art and adding his own brand of cynicism to it. Before that, it was ceramic flying pigs and today he is sticking gazing balls onto traditional paintings by masters, in the vein of Duchamp's toilet, as a work of art but without the subtle irony and intellectual connotation.
Apparently he was enamoured with gazing balls when young and now because he is "famous" can put them willy nilly on a canvas and fetch $150, 000 for each. And to add fuel to the fire, he is referring to these monstrosities as philosophical renderings of eternity! HA, I say!
Koons is just like the guys who think with their balls instead of their brains.
I was hoping to see some more authentic art in the marketplace in the early days of 2017, but here is Koons already cluttering up our minds and space.
But what can be done with idiot Collectors who choose to make him famous and are only hoping to bump up the prices of their investments! UGH!
The problem is that professional people like art historians are ignored and uninformed money people are driving the art world.
