I heard that a meeting had been registered about 300 people. Not counted, but the hall was full. The journalists, TV reporters, photographers and those who can be called vip-guests.

Vladimir, so you heard that Koons spoke about his work. Perhaps it will make a short summary?

He did what he wanted, without regard to what this will say in polite company.

OK, understandable. and the power of his art, then?

Here's a funny article with a fun picture http://kommersant.ru/doc.aspx?DocsID=1142626
"Nimbus" Abramovich - is actually a modern-day round of the barbed wire (part of the product Adel Abessemeda).

Why should an artist do something to explain ... When you're finished, the artist quietly step aside and not chattering like a magpie in his jacket, telling neophytes what he meant creating a product.

Absolutely correct. But this requires that he was engaged in art, and Koons and Kunst - two are incompatible:)

If an artist does not need a viewer does not need the feedback, it can be. But this is strange. One of the advantages of the acquisition of the Modern Art - the chance to direct dialogue with the artist. If he "stepped aside" or two words can not bind (see interviews with many young), it is reason to doubt the intellectual work done. Even if вешь turned out beautiful.

With some things it's time to accept. Koons is already in history. I noticed how much of it written monographs and published album.

For example, in the integrity of the technical realization of artistic conception.

If you step back, so Fortuny was also in history, and how.
Fifteen years ago, "history" was Sandro Kia, but where is he now? Here you, Volodya, you know this artist?

It is clear that in this nedokunsta invested a decent money, just will not let him fall. But let's continue this conversation in 15-20 years (if I live that long, but if not, necessarily fabricated himself some ectoplasm and send it from your response to demand, so that tremble:))

Design is not taken into account when assessing the work.
