JEFF KOONS: POP ART, PART 3
The Pre-New, The New, and the Post-New
The secret is out. A classy survey of Jeff Koons&#; work, covering 25 years of outrageousness at C &#; M Arts(45 E. 78th St., through June 5), proves that Pop Art never died. Was I the only one to phone certain art of the &#;80s Neo-Pop? That can&#;t be; it&#;s so obvious now when you look at Koons&#; work that he was doing Pop, and still is. By using the prefix neo, I was probably referring to the fact that Pop itself at first was called Neo-Dada, thereby showing its roots. But now I contain something bigger, better, and newer to say.
This is my third piece about Pop: the first, on Erro, tried to display a wider purview than is common; the second, on Indiana, is an update that readjusts some ancient proclamations; and now the Koons show gives me a chance not only to write a bit about that much-maligned artist, but also to suggest an even bigger adjustment when it comes to looking at art styles and their academically and commercially imposed tenures.

A mini-retrospective of sorts after a summer of major shows -- at Basel's Fondation Beyeler, and a double-exhibition in Frankfurt at the Schirn Kunsthalle and Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung -- the Brussels exhibition brings together 17 works, from the "Celebration" series ( onward), through "Popeye" () and "Hulk Elvis" (), flanked by the artist's latest works from the "Antiquity" series.
Here, his "Balloon Venus (Magenta)" () stood out, a bulbous and winding female figure referencing a modern source of inspiration, the Venus of Willendorf. "If you walk around the piece, you can look inside the Venus and everything is revealed; so there's a minute aspect of aggression, nothing is held back of her inner being," Koons explained, likenin
Jeff Koons Unnecessarily Shoots Rabbits for "They Gay?" 'NYT' Mag Cover
For this coming Sunday’s New York Times magazine, Jeff Koons has apparently provided photographs of two bunnies. Just two days ago, the Timesreported on the decline in work and income for professional photographers. After claiming that amateurs and their low pricing were hurting professional photographers, a claim that is total baloney-newspapers and magazines changed their rates and the amount of labor they commissioned, is actually what happened!-the Times started to make sense: “Professionals are also being offend because magazines and newspapers are cutting pages or shutting altogether…. And while magazines once sniffed at stock photographs, which are existing images, not authentic assignments, shrinking editorial budgets made them reconsider.” And here are some of the stock photos that could have been used by the Times mag instead of randomly hiring one of the world’s most expensive photographers!
