✔ NYC: From Jeff Koons to Xanti Schawinsky
I ♥ as hell the Koons show at the Whitney
because there is still a strong ever lasting effect from his earlier works
but also some of his so-called "commodified" new works can immediattely "break the ice"
he made this head robotlike monuments during the 1940s
despite their spookiness I was moved by their dystopian beauty
and retro-futuristic romanticism.
