Mr. Koons asks, “What would she be doing with this Pink Panther other than maybe masturbating with it?”All in all, though, this is a fairly chaste version of Mr. Koons. (The series is gingerly described in an accompanying PDF — a kind of Koons study guide — of 35 pages.) This Mr. Koons is speaking to fellow executives — the managers of people and capital who are his potential collectors. Mr. Koons emphasizes that he strove to remain “self-reliant,” working day jobs (selling Museum of Modern Art memberships and commodities), and that it’s important to be able to deal with criticism. Much of what our host says about art does not make logical sense, but on certain points he is conspicuously direct.
