These are Charlotte Segal's impressons of the Jeff Koons show we saw a couple of weeks ago at the MCA in Chicago. . ."Yes, our visit to Koons show didn't produce anything newer than taking toys to monumental scale. I did like the Egg very much too, but it made me guestion why we strive to be original unto our own images and then find no one cares a hoot unless it is funky and doesn't require questioning as to the artist's ability to communicate. Koons just relied on the success of those artists he most admired and regurgitated those already done surfaces and shapes. He gets away with it while you and I would be chastised by the likes of Alan Artner, for example."
