Jeff Koons: Popeye Series - Serpentine Gallery, 28 July 2009
I know, I know… I did say there would be only one exhibition left to cover… and then I remembered this one! So… this is now the penultimate one.
What I really enjoyed about viewing so many exhibitions during my week off is that the art was very different; I went to different parts of the city; all exhibitions were free; I discovered new galleries I didn’t know… and I came across some great art.
I kicked off the week with Jeff Koons: Popeye Series at the Serpentine Gallery. I went, I saw, I stared and I left… puzzled.
Fashionable? Trend-setter? Really great artist? An Art fraud? A waste of my time?
Castings of inflatable toys? I’m not a fan. But I’ll leave you to make your own decision.
Jeff Koons: Popeye Series is at the Serpentine Gallery until 13 September. FREE.
