bubbles and michael

jeff koons in london with a major new exhibition. whatever your opinion, or what you believe about koons, his work can’t be ignored as a phenomenon that was at the centre of art in the ‘eighties, but how relevant is it at the end of the ‘noughties? his famed kitsch representation of michael jackson and his pet chimp, bubbles, are fortuitously topical, but does his work have any real substance, and how does it look after the bubble has burst? more to follow.
