This volume presents a marriage made in camp heaven - the splendid extravagance of the palace of Versailles as a backdrop for the gregarious, loud & equally extravagant sculptures ofcontemporary American Pop artist Jeff Koons, who mounted the first contemporary art exhibition ever in the apartments of King Louis XIV in September 2008. Koons counterposes Versailles' rich detail with a monumental red chocolat-box-style heart, balloon dog & suspended red aluminum lobster, among other hyper-kitsch objects. This monograph records each of the 17 works as exhibited & is supplemented with texts by, among others, Michel Houellebecq. Illus., 97 color.
