George Lindemann Journal - "By the Numbers | The Facts and Figures Behind Jeff Koons’s Massive, Awe-Inspiring Show at the Whitney" @nytimes by KEVIN MCGARRY
Like Jeff Koons himself, “Jeff Koons: A Retrospective,” at the Whitney Museum of American Art, is larger than life.

Included among the 145 works on display is a pastel Koons created last year specifically for T. The show also serves as the farewell party for the Whitney’s iconic Marcel Breuer building before the museum relocates to its new Renzo Piano-designed space downtown next year. Here, a few more key figures about this one-of-a-kind, once-in-a-lifetime survey.
