This is artwork and sculpture by Jeff Koons.

• Most of his work is based on the glorification of
  ordinary things and kitsch. They exemplify his
  taste in commercial and popular issues (he is a
  Neo-Pop artist)
• He is widely regarded as a very important figure
  in todays contemporary art scene, and his work
  is some of the most expensive in the world for
  collectors (5.6 million for Michael and his
  chimp!).
• He has been exhibited in nearly every important
  museum or gallery across the world.
• Many say he is famous for forcing the spectator
  to reexamine the impact of consumerism and
  popular culture on both the individual and
  contemporary society.

• Again, what do YOU think?
• Do you think that there is more merit to Koons
  being considered an artist than Thomas Kinkade?
  Do you think he is better? Why?
• Do you disagree and think that his art is
  meaningless? Why?
