Jeff Koons, "Popeye," Nov. 8, 2003-Dec. 19, 2004
"So I wasn't expecting much from Koons's current show, "Popeye." On first sight it didn't disappoint my low expectations: more glitzy Rosenquist spin-offs, plus some showy sculptures of blow-up toys. After repeated visits, however, I've gotten much more out of this exhibition than I imagined I would. This isn't as good as the old Koons, and there aren't any genuinely new ideas on view. But it's the best he's looked in a while." Breathing Lessons by Jerry Saltz
