Jeff Koons liked our idea?

So, you may recall last September, when York County native Jeff Koons was getting a lot of press for showing his work at The Palace of Versailles.

We here at the York Daily Record like to stay on top of what Koons is up to and have a little fun in the process. That's why we created our own Koons-ish masterpiece.

Now, I'm reading a New York Times article about a solo exhibition Koons is doing in London, and I come across this line, describing a piece in the show: "An inflatable lobster was perched precariously on a wastepaper basket..."

Sounds awfully familiar to me. See it here and compare for yourself. (click to the fourth slide)

All I can say is that if it sells for anywhere near what "Hanging Heart" did, we deserve a cut.
