Brilliant episode, this was a reassuring experience for me as I'm delving into the art world and trying to learn and understand how the system works and how individuals interact with artworks. What Koons said, and his mindset towards art was beautiful in that it should be accessible to everyone, and that all art is a metaphor to communicate.
