Allegedly, after Jeff Koons’ ex-wife Ilona Staller (a.k.a. porn princes/hardcore art collaborator/siren/topless politician la Ciccolina) kidnapped their son, he founded the Koons Family Institute on International Law and Policy. Now buy this 2011 Edition of Kiehl’s moisturizer for charity featuring Koons’ “balloon flowers” aka “a symbol for perfect love.” Since it’s for a kids’ charity, […]
Multi-media artist Hunter Jonakin new piece Jeff Koons Must Die!!! is a brilliant first-person shooter in a vintage arcade game terminal. For quarter, you can rampage through a Jeff Koons retrospective and blow up his art with a rocket-launcher. […]
Jeff Koons has officially given up trying to sue San Francisco’s Park Life gallery and Toronto’s balloon-dogged bookend makers imm Living for copyright infringement. Spoilsport! The pro bono lawyer who tore Koons a new one had lots of “expert witnesses,” honk honk. So, no courtroom circus for us and it’s all legit, as long as […]
Since Jeff Koons went all cease and desist on a shop for selling balloon-shaped bookends, he got zinged pretty bad. Now, one of the pissed clowns – perhaps, the real victims in this plagiarism/appropriation fracas – points out that in 1966, balloon master Jimmy Davis copyrighted his book One Balloon Zoo with the exact balloon […]
Since Jeff Koons sent a cease and desist letter to SF’s Park Life gallery for selling bookends shaped like the balloon dogs which he obviously invented, the gallery lawyered up and swung back with legal zingers galore in a federal complaint starting with “As virtually any clown can attest, no one owns the idea of […]
In an act of megalomaniac delusion, Jeff Koons sent cease and desist letters to San Francisco’s Park Life store/gallery for selling balloon animal-shaped bookends, because he forever called dibs on balloon animals by making them giant and shiny. Koons wanted all the bookends, sales records and maker’s info, but Park Life said PFFFT. Meanwhile, clowns […]
Jeff Koons’ life-size sculptures of Jeff Koons doing it have just been upstaged by Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei. Hold the applause. Prince Bolkiah’s $1 million commission of an x-rated statue sex-fest featuring himself and his fiancé is perhaps the least pervy thing he’s ever done. […]
We’ve seen the BWM Art Car à la Jeff Koons and now that Damien Hirst threw some paint on a pink Audi for Sir Sellout Elton John, we can settle this once and for all. Let’s race these babies, provided that the artists drive the cars themselves: no assistant-elves. Can’t someone slap together a “Most […]
Google has just launched a new feature that turns its soothingly minimal title page into a background image of your choice, which is a bitch to turn off. Struggling only makes it worse. But, there’s a way to fix it. […]
While gilded and gaudy art-things like Jeff Koons’s “Michael Jackson and Bubbles” aren’t particularly impressive, turn that bitch into a fancy $4 white chocolate drink and it’s entirely slurpable. Caitlin Williams Freeman of the SFMOMA-adjacent kiosk Blue Bottle Coffee serves up sweet tastiness inspired by the works at the museum, spoon feeding art, literally. Check […]
