Heroes of Modern Sporting Art, continued

We haven't posted anything new and exciting lately in the Grousers "Heroes of Sporting Art" category, so here is today's entry:


Clearly this is a sculpture--life size, I might add, by Jeff Koons--of celebrity Michael Jackson who has just returned from a successful monkey hunting excursion. As you can see, Michael has "field dressed" his quarry in the typically whimsical and appropriate Jacksonesque style, just the thing to amuse any children who may be visiting him at the moment at Neverland.

For more about this sculture, check out this link. There's quite a lot out there about Koons but also about this particular Michael Jackson piece.

As an aside, this reminds me of our Maine grouse camp conversations of 2003 (?), where Peter K. regaled us with tales of Monkey Brain Masaman and other possibly apocryphal culinary tales about brainfood across the cultures.

Brain appetit!
