Jeff Koons at LACMA...

Last Saturday, my museum buddy and I took a little trip out to LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art). It was nice to use my membership and explore more of their collection.

This is Jeff Koons. He is the man when it comes to Neo-pop art!

"...Jeff Koons creates 'reliquaries' of vacuum cleaners, basketballs, and other store-bought products. His kitschy ceramic sculptures of religious and pop cultural icons-like Michael Jackson holding Bubbles, his pet chimpanzee-at once coyly satirize and fully embrace consumer culture."- LACMA wall label

 

A few years ago, Koons was invited to display his art at Versailles, the very same place Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI were given the boot once the French Revolution was in full swing. Check out this video to see some of these artworks featured at Versailles.
