Jeff Koons recently opened his latest exhibition, entitled Sex and Banality, at the Serpentine Gallery in London. The show featured the American pop artist’s Popeye Series, referencing to the slightly parallel economic times of today with the Great Depression, in which Popeye was created to signify the mild persona of the average Joe. Sex and Banality runs through September 13th, 2009.

    you don’t have to “DIY” it in order to be considered an artist. everyone has assistants. all the big artists (hirst, warhol, koons, da vinci, du champ, kelley, etc.) had assistants. it would be impossible for him to do that all himself for that show in the short amount of time.

    behind every piece is the idea and the idea is what matters the most. any monkey can paint a picture a specific way, all he needs is guidance and directions and that’s what the artist is for, to direct and tell his assistants what to do to conceive the idea physically.

    i’m not impressed… his early works were alot better, these are just replication.

    @Seanymac
    you fail, this is so not true!
    Person/-s + idea = Artist/-s …it doesn’t matter who produces the project, aslong the idea came from an artist. everything in the whole world can be used as art when its use is irreplaceable… read from Duchamp! …make research on the early works from Jeff Koons!
    …or do you think every shoemaker is an artist???
