As said by a famous American philosopher:
“One second I’m a Koons
Then suddenly the Koons is me
Pop culture was in art
Now, art’s in pop culture in me”
Lady Gaga
Much to art lovers’ regret, the COVID-19 pandemic closed museums around the globe. Good news: the Getty Museum has challenged people to recreate famous art pieces using equipment available in their houses.
We challenge you to recreate a work of art with objects (and people) in your home.
