   Another juxtaposition: bathed soap, licked chocolate, and Asian art… Janine Antoni’s "Lick and Lather" busts in the foreground:
   Barbie Doll, 188-144 BCE, low-fired ceramic with shoulder holes for rotating arms, a doll-sized tomb figurine from the China’s Western Han dynasty: "Purity is a desperate nostalgia that exfoliates like a hideous need" — Robert Smithson, 1966, in the Gorgeous museum magazine.

   Self-Portrait, by Jeff Koons, Marble 1991 "Koons has notified the world that this represents him at the moment of sexual climax with his former wife, the porn star/parliamentarian Ilona Staller"
   Frog Design 750 prototype motorcycle for Yamaha, 1985
   A new piece for MOMA, juxtaposed with the peace sign graffiti of its foster home… "Untitled (in honor of Leo at the 30th anniversary of his gallery), 1987, by Dan Flavin, red, pink, yellow, blue and green fluorescent light."

   from some whispers in the aisles, it was clear that this was pushing some new boundaries for the Asian Art Museum… =)

   Is Mr. Koons interested in joining Burning Man in September?

   Wow, what a fabulous image! I am somewhat puzzled by the position of the hand…. I wonder if that was done on purpose…?

    Did Jeff Koons have more than one of these made, or is this the same one I saw at LACMA?
