i was able to visit the Getty Villa today, the museum hold all of his antiquity collection. We did the Plato LA guided tour. The highlighted sculpture is a Jeff koons. ITs a play on PLATo, play doh.... Its now on sale for 20 million. I liked it, I thought it was really cool!
No Thank goodness! I’m hoping that part of my life is behind me now. I know not to wear a bra or any other plastic metal through the X ray detector.Have any more ladies molested you at the airport?
i know you're an artist, and so am i. but to me, that's not art. making a big weird thing doesn't make it art. art speaks to you, sometimes intellectually, sometimes emotionally, but it always speaks....a big pile of playdoh does not speak to me.....i know art is both subjective and objective, so it can be art to others...but not to me.View attachment 4155227

i totally agree with your view points. But this is one piece you have to see live. Seeing it on a computer screen or in a book does it no justice.

I suppose situation, atmosphere, and so on will play a part which cannot be conveyed by a mere picture, but in all honesty I think I've laid more artistic logs, and with more colour differences, after a night of good food and beer.i totally agree with your view points.

The strange think about Koonies work is, a lot of his stuff you Have to see live, or it just doesn't work.... plain and simple. So keep an open mind about art my friend, and stay positive.
now see, if they would have named it that, or something like "Jabba learns he isn't going to be an artist".....then it might be worth a million...but 20?...come on....I suppose situation, atmosphere, and so on will play a part which cannot be conveyed by a mere picture, but in all honesty I think I've laid more artistic logs, and with more colour differences, after a night of good food and beer.
His one might be bigger, but quantity dies not always equal quality.
Oh, if the "attendees" are allowed to interact with it and create their own "art" then maybe there is some redeeming aspect, otherwise it's just the moment Jabba the Hut found out he wasn't suited for the paint mixing counter at Home Depot.
The technical complexities of this work are immense. It took 7 years and a factory full of highly skilled employees to make this piece. This is not a solid piece of work. All the little color pieces of play doh are separately built and placed together. A genius move for relocating, shipping and display. As the dossier pointed out, if there were an earthquake the entire piece would fall apart. The texture in person is so real, just like real play doh, it has a certain feel of dryness and moisture, the moisture cracks look so damn real. Jeff s inspiration for making it was his young sons joy of creating a play doh sculpture in similar appearance to this one. the innocent pride and overwhelming joy his son had making the play doh piece and showing it to his father .Simple but profound. Its conceptual and technically brilliant.now see, if they would have named it that, or something like "Jabba learns he isn't going to be an artist".....then it might be worth a million...but 20?...come on....
conceptual art usually escapes me. i suppose it's because my "concept" of reality is very different from most other peoples, and what impresses me are usually things that other people overlook. sometimes i get abstract art, and sometimes i don't....Jackson Pollock's work just looks like splatters of paint to me....i like Francis Bacon, Damien Hirst, Edvard Munch, Lautrec, Rodin,......too many others to name, but i think you can see which way i leanThe technical complexities of this work are immense.
