Lol, Jeff's work is sub-Warholian conceptual *********, art for rich people about which basically no one else cares. He’s a symbol of the rarification of the top end of the art world, the way in which it’s become a playground for moneyed dilettantes and cash-hungry investors, a great ongoing circle-jerk of vapidity and self-satire. His work has nothing to say to you or me beyond, hey, isn’t it hilarious that people pay me a fortune for three basketballs in a tank or this picture of me having sex with my wife? It’s art because it costs money, capitalism at its crassest and dullest, and if you think I’m being harsh on Koons here, then I give you his own words: “The market is the greatest critic.”
I Madonna'd that from an article.
