It feels like I've done a lot within my first month at NYU yet I haven't taken that many photos. Fortunately, I went camera happy at the Whitney Museum of American Art, so I was able to write this post. I loved how the Whitney Museum managed to showcase a wide variety of Koons' work from the past three decades and how they dedicated five floors to this retrospective. Seeing Koons' balloon dog sculptures in real life alongside the infamous "The New" (a collection of vacuum cleaners in clear boxes) was pretty exciting for me. I've seen them in books and online for years yet never saw them aside from a small collection at LACMA. Apart from looking at the art and enjoying free tickets courtesy of NYU, my friends and I pondered the deeper meanings of each piece of art jokingly or at least that's what we thought. As we walked away from one painting, we heard a security guard laugh and say to himself, "Holy shit. College students these days."
PS I'm changing my URL soon to satellite-buzz.blogspot.com soon, so don't be alarmed when the name of my blog changes on your news feed.
I was actually just reading a book about Jeff Koons a few days ago! I think it's really cool how you got to see some of his work~ you're so lucky ;A; Great post! I love the pictures ^^

Thanks! I'm enjoying it here very much. c:
DeleteI've seen some of his work. I love some pieces but I dislike others :)
ReplyDeleteI feel like his work invites that and he purposefully does provoking pieces that cause people to think about what actually counts as art and what doesn't. Part of the interest in his work is that it causes such mixed reactions.
DeleteSo cool, I love art museums and galleries ^____^
