Jeff Koons doesn’t even make his own art. He subcontracts others to make his works for him.
Funny. I read a great autobiography about Richard Feynman called "Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman", and in it, he talks about art, and how he became an artist later in life for a period of time.
In it, he wondered "What is good art? How do I know art is good? Is it something I can quantify?" (If you don't know of him, he was a young "Wunderkind Physicist" working on the Manhattan Project, the youngest prominent physicist on the team that included Einstein, Neil Bohrs, Oppenhiemer, etc. He was only 24 when he was recruited to join the team in 1942)
So, in the Sixties, he became interested in art, and on a trip to Italy he visited a famous place where there were a lot of paintings from Botticelli, Raphel, etc. He did not know anything about art, but he wondered if he could tell great art from other art. So he walked around looking at all the paintings, categorizing each of them without knowing anything about them as "That one is really good", "That one doesn't look that impressive", and so on.
He then went and got a brochure that explained each painting, and found that he COULD tell the difference...without fail, all the ones he thought weren't as good had been painted by apprentices of the masters and categorized in the brochure as "not having any significance"...
I found that interesting. So, when I look at art, and I think it sucks...I keep in mind that it is quite possible, I, as a non-artist, can discern the difference!
