Jeff Koons
Crystal Bridges bought Koons’ “Hanging Heart (Gold/Magenta),” which hangs in Eleven, the museum’s restaurant, directly from the artist, so maybe Alice W. and Jeff are pals. The lecture is at 7 p.m. You will need to sign up in advance to hear Koons because this event will be packed. A book-signing will follow; I have inquired which book Koons will be signing and will update when I get the information.
