San Francisco’s Park Life, a cornerstone in the Bay Area art scene, received a nice holiday present this year in the form of a Cease and Desist order from blue chip artist Jeff Koons. The famed sculptor, who has his own history of appropriation (and getting sued for it), seems to feel that the bookends pictured above violate some sort of copyright and as the gallery as duly noted: “Wait, I’m confused, isnt his ENTIRE FUCKING CAREER based on co-opting other peoples work/objects???? So going forward, just so you know; Jeff Koons owns all likenesses of balloon dogs.”
On a brighter note however, the gallery has a cool show coming up more info and pics on that show soon.
