Jeff Koons at the Whitney:

A wonderful piece by Jed Perl in the New York Review of Books: "His combination of in-your-face banality and in-your-face extravagance"is just one beautiful phrase among many. How I detest that banality and that extravagance and everything this "artist" stands for, including getting the largest amount ever for a piece--82 million dollars, maybe. Not while I'm eating.
