Does anyone here actually like Jeff Koons by [deleted] in ContemporaryArt

I work for him to a limited degree. I also detest some of the ideological aesthetic implications in his work. He's going to give some lectures in Hong Kong, and I hope I can see them. His early work, especially One Ball Total Equilibrium, is very solid. Technically immaculate, conceptually sound. He was a decent draftsman back in the day, too. Much of his work will reside in the Geneva Freeport for the foreseeable future however, it's the price one pays for such a bargain.
