  • Catalogue Essay

    “In the liquor advertisements, the purpose was not so much to direct the viewer as to define social class structure. For example, the Frangelico ads define a $45,000 and up income, and are more concerned with being lost in one’s own thought patterns. The public is being deceived in these advertisements on different levels of thought, because they are educated in abstraction and luxury on different levels of income,” (J. Koons, taken from The Jeff Koons Handbook, London, 1992, p. 72).
