Campbell Brown on Presidential Portraits

Embedded video from CNN Video

Your Moment of Art Apocalypse – Jeff Koons at Versailles

Jenny Hart over at Dinosaurs and Robots went to the Koons exhibition at Versailles.  Apparently it was verboten for the tour guides to talk shit about the art, but they couldn’t help themselves, a feeling that I think anyone in the presence of Koons’ work seems to share.  I can’t recall being in [...]
