Ushering in banality
Little people coping in a big world
After visiting an art gallery the little people decided to sell their prize winning cow to purchase the sculpture 'Ushering in banality'.
Ushering in banality (by Jeff Koons) is an enlarged wooden sculpture inspired on the porcelain figurines often used in interior decoration. The sculpture depicts a pig pushed forward by two angels and the artist in a tracksuit.
Through the enlargement and the chosen title the artist questions the relation between art and commercial products, but also between art and kitsch. According to Koons the work is not intended to be ironic. He wants to give the general public what it wants without questioning popular taste.
