Roberta Smith on Jeff Koons' art of simulated sex



Roberta Smith's biting, emasculating, but insightful take on Jeff Koons art of simulated sex with Cicciolina contains great gems such as:

"Typical of the lowest common denominator of heterosexual convention, it is Cicciolina who does most of the gussying..."

and

"The innocence of the child is replaced by the cluelessness of the man, one who confuses posing and empty exhibitionism with emotional vulnerability."
