BP, looking at my earlier comment, I can see that it could be taken in two ways. To be perfectly clear, I mean that I can see why the Koons piece to which you linked might upset people if displayed in a public place open to children, such as Versailles.

None of that changes my thoughts on the suit of course.

The court is to enforce respect to the same man (Louis XIV) who regularly held important meetings whilst taking a s**t on his toilet?

Jeff Koons is no Robert Mapplethorpe, BP, though I can see why that would upset some people.

I don’t know what’s on display in this exhibition, but Koons most certainly does do some art that would be considered pornographic by anybody’s standards. See e.g. certain pieces in his “Made in Heaven” series from the early 90’s. They’re sculptures of he and his then-wife in flagrante.
