This is why art is irrelevant these days. This is art for the investment banker set—eh, a few dollar short and a few months too late.</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/04/22/jeff_koons_atop.php#comment-1344982 http://gothamist.com/2008/04/22/jeff_koons_atop.php#comment-1344982 Comments Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:26:00 -0500 <p>He ain't no Warhol(a). Hey it's somebody else's money,anyway.

Like he himself actually made the art, not a steel technician who is the real master.</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/04/22/jeff_koons_atop.php#comment-1344742 http://gothamist.com/2008/04/22/jeff_koons_atop.php#comment-1344742 Comments Tue, 22 Apr 2008 15:43:27 -0500 <p>"'Balloon Dog' is a masterpiece" really?</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/04/22/jeff_koons_atop.php#comment-1344703 http://gothamist.com/2008/04/22/jeff_koons_atop.php#comment-1344703 Comments Tue, 22 Apr 2008 15:24:15 -0500 <p>Heh, balloon knot.</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/04/22/jeff_koons_atop.php#comment-1344682 http://gothamist.com/2008/04/22/jeff_koons_atop.php#comment-1344682 Comments Tue, 22 Apr 2008 15:16:21 -0500 <p>i love it. he has come a long, long way. i remember his show at the moma (was it in 93?) which was just a huge fuck you to the viewers and had very little in the way of aesthetic value. this stuff looks great though.</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/04/22/jeff_koons_atop.php#comment-1344654 http://gothamist.com/2008/04/22/jeff_koons_atop.php#comment-1344654 Comments Tue, 22 Apr 2008 15:00:33 -0500 <p>The Met has had some disasters on the roof in recent year, i.e., Frank Stella, and now Koons.
