Abstract
Despite strong similarities in Sherrie Levine’s and Jeff Koons’s art, a comparative exploration of their work has never been undertaken. To draw a comparison between Levine and Koons, while redressing the critical and public perception of their art, I reconsider the nature of three pivotal concepts—criticality, audience, and desire.
