Pretty Day

'It's a pretty day to die.
My blue eyes in your black eyes.
It's a pretty day to die.
It's a pretty way to lie.'



Marie Möör

1980's
Little is known about this French singer and songwriter aside from the fact that she collaborated with fellow French musician Barney Willen on some new wave 45s during the 1980s, and together founded the label 4As a.k.a. AAAA. This haunting track can be found on a few various 80's punk and new wave compilations, including the excellent "B.I.P.P.P." compilation by Born Bad records.

Jeff Koons

Jeff Koons (born January 21, 1955) is an American artist known for his giant reproductions of banal objects. Some critics view his work as pioneering and of major art-historical importance. Others dismiss his work as kitsch: crass and based on cynical self-merchandising. Koons himself has stated that there are no hidden meanings in his works.
There may be no hidden meanings, the work may be kitsch, and definitely self merchandising, but there are collectors, and this in it's self says some thing about the society we live in.
In 2007, a magenta Hanging Heart sold for $23.6 million becoming, at the time, the most expensive piece by a living artist ever auctioned.

"A viewer might at first see irony in my work... but I see none at all. Irony causes too much critical contemplation." -Koons
