Metropolitan Museum of Art - roof deck
If you remember the giant, flowered Puppy exhibit at Rockefeller Center (now permanently displayed at the Guggenheim Bilbao) or the big Red Balloon Flower at 7 World Trade Center, then you have already admired some of Jeff Koons's sculptures. Jeff Koons was born in York, Pennsylvania in 1955. He studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Koons is a versatile artist who works with many different media. His works have been displayed throughout the world, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art is currently showing three on the roof deck until October 26th. The critics are in complete disagreement of Koons's talent or lack thereof, especially after his series titled Made In Heaven, which featured him and his porn star wife Cicciolina in various explicit sexual positions. I am very much not an art critic. As I stood on the roof deck of the Met staring at the giant balloon dog, I didn't wonder what inspired him to create it or how he chose that particular color. The only thought that crossed my mind was of how much I would like to shoot a dart at it to see if I could pop it.
