I was so excited to finally get to see the highly publicized Jeff Koons exhibit at the Whitney Museum this weekend. Even better - I got to do it along with friends, family and colleagues!
I decided to organize an outing with members of the Jason J Kim Dental Aesthetics and Jason J Kim Oral Design NY family to join my actual family for a tour of the Jeff Koons: A Retrospective Exhibition - It wanted to thank all my colleagues for all their hard work and dedication. NYC offers such a wonderful opportunity to see the works of some of the most influential artists out there today.
What an interesting exhibition. I recommend anyone in the NYC area take time to walk through it. It has so much joy and you can't help but smile throughout the entire exhibit but it also gets you thinking about art as a marketplace.
Much thanks also to our tour guides provided by the AHL Foundation! Sun You led our Korean speaking group. She is an accomplished artist herself with work in galleries and museums internationally. Kyunghee Pyun, Ph.D, led our English speaking group. She's an assistant professor at State University of New York, Fashion Institute of Technology and has also worked as a visiting assistant professor in the department of history of art and design at Pratt Institute, in Brooklyn.
I love this photo above! How perfectly pop culture! Koons would approve, I think.
A wonderful time with wonderful people!
