Yeah, but his stuff just looks bad, and every time I see it I like it less. 
That’s why I was so ready to believe the story about Koons being an asshat to a museum’s gift shop when he found out they were selling a toy or pencil sharpener or whatever that looked like a balloon animal (reported here in BoingBoing a while back). Apparently he was claiming copyright on the thing, though IIRC it was actually based on prior art and not labelled in any way as being based on his work. I don’t know if the story is true or not, but the guy does seem to have crossed the line from merry prankster troll to money-grubbing troll in most anecdotes that are passed on to me.
