In class on February 9th, we had looked at some of Jeff Koons' work. For the first time I was able to relate to some of the work being showed on the screen. As I have stated previously, my knowledge of art is minimal at best and I can never understand what the artist is portraying.
When we looked at the basketball equilibrium, I was immediately interested in the piece as I saw it as something I would love to have in my office or in a sports bar. Maybe this has to do with my love of sports but when I look at this piece I find that it would be an instant conversation piece, which is the point of art.
Every six months the basketballs go out of equilibrium and have to be reset which gives this piece even more meaning. I feel that everything goes out of balance and needs to be reset in order to gain true success. I would love to see Koons do a series of this work such as a baseball and football equilibrium.
