neilestrick Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 I read about that! Crazy that they just had it sitting out in the open where anyone could bump into it. Bad planning on the part of the gallery. Rae Reich and Callie Beller Diesel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rae Reich Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 (edited) Thinly cast porcelain, from the shards, would have just skittered across that elbow-high pedestal. Nice of Koons to make small, affordable copies of his signature dog “for the peasants.” If you get one for yourself, be sure to use Museum Putty! Can I get one that’s inflatable? oops! “… a little kick in the pedestal “ brought it down.

Callie Beller Diesel Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 @Min It definitely reminds me of that banana taped to the wall that another performance artist came along and ate! karenkstudio, Min and Rae Reich 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
