I take the long way to the post office, on the east side of 3rd Avenue. Just so I don't have to look at this piece of crap.
ReplyDeleteIn 50 years, some art preservationist will be working on that, trying to restore its lustre and shine.
ReplyDeleteUm yes... that is my job and it sucks. Thankfully Jeff Koons has a great studio trained on how to maintain his art... for now at least.
DeleteAn ordinary object, made to be interesting and pricey by means of its ridiculous scale. That is not art, it is "crafts". Art is largely dead. This thing is a monument to moneyed cluelessness and bad taste.
ReplyDeleteI like you, rabbit! I don't care what everyone else says.
ReplyDeleteI love it. That and the Keith Haring sculpture on 3rd.
ReplyDeleteThe rabbit is about consumerism.
ReplyDeleteThey've got bigger problems than a little dust. The shiny red rabbit wants to be high end art, but the bright red CVS sign right next door begs to differ.
