I think this Koons sculpture is great! But I loved Hirst's first big show at Gagosian NYC (way back when it was in Soho) so I guess my taste is questionable. :-) At the risk of being labeled a cretin…

I like to watch people bicker over their 'style' being stolen by another artist who ends up selling for a higher price. It is also funny when someone discovers that the Picasso they won on Ebay is a fake. Maybe I'm just sadistic? Ebay can be fun for a cheap laugh.
