and, NO !!
the last thing I want to see – is a JEFF KOONS sculpture on the moon.
I mean, I don’t even want to see one – on a mega yard – in the Hamptons.
let alone, a grotesque ballerina beside the pool, in tacky Miami.
see: JEFF KOONS TO THE MOON – artnet

truthfully, I’d much rather see a Jeff Koons ‘fake’ anything – by ALFREDO MARTINEZ . . THE NOTORIOUS BASQUIAT FORGER, on a grimy . . Lower East Side wall.
keep your damn balloon . . paws – off the moon Jeff / Jeff ‘wannabe Bezos’ ?
damn, have some celestial respect, CAN’T YOU ?
