Jeff Koons is one of those artists that people either hate or love. His work is by no means easy to "get" and a lot of it can be very controversial. He was the one time husband of Italian porno star and Italian Parliament member Ilona Staller, widely known by her stage name, Cicciolina. He has been called artist "provocateur" which I thought was an apt description.

The vacuum cleaners, early works on the first floor of the exhibit did not bode well for Stelios.

Stelios did find the exhibit interesting as we progressed to later works. I figured I'd let you judge for yourselves how you like Jeff Koons' "work." Keep in mind that I read that his inflatable "bunny" or some such animal, recently sold for over $5million! I'm just sayin...
Enjoy!
