jeff koons








the day i took a tour around the guggenheim museum in bilbao
it was pretty grey and overcast. it made the titanium clad building
seem very much like it should be photographed in black and white.

however, just outside the museum at the back, was a very colourful
installation by the american artist jeff koons.
i think it was called 'tulips'








i find jeff koons to be kind of like kaws... do you know what i mean ?
no... thinking about it, jeff koons definitely has more ponies than kaws.

anyway, i really liked this piece and it was all the better for not being surrounded
by lots of similar pieces, as was the case at the show i saw at the serpentine
gallery in 2009.








one last shot of it...
and there i am.
