Jeff Koons Press Release Has Best Sentence in Any Press Release\u00a0Ever<\/h1>\n

By GalleristNY<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a>Jeff Koons is having his first exhibition in Brussels in 20 years; it open[ed] Oct. 6 at Almine Rech gallery. And that is news! But far more impressive than that news is the following sentence in the exhibition\u2019s press release which may, as indicated in our headline, be the best sentence in any press release ever released in the history of press releases released to the press.<\/p>\n

\u201cNeither Koons nor his art can ever stay static: his oeuvre is like a quivering organism, ceaselessly buzzing with life, producing ever new and more surprising, vivid forms.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Remarkable! According to this sentence, Jeff Koons\u2019s art is, pretty much, that cavernous, gothic outer space WMD chamber in\u00a0Prometheus<\/em>, packed with obsidian vials leaking dark ooze that turns into\u2014well, any number of quivering, buzzing, surprising organisms, such as slickly-fanged worms that invade people\u2019s bodies via the mouth and, in turn, giant mouth-like creatures with countless tentacles and what you might call a violent lust for regeneration (talk about vivid; this is why going to outer space in the first place is a bad idea).<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the press release mention is made of \u201chigh points,\u201d \u201cintimate juxtapositions,\u201d the \u201cpulse of humanity,\u201d \u201cthe libido and the core of our humanity\u201d and \u201ca permanent state of tumescence\u201d; a sailboat is called \u201can erotic visual double entendre\u201d and a statue has \u201ca perfectly callipygian rear,\u201d as in ass.<\/p>\n
