The female was not underage.

In 1989 the Whitney Museum and its guest curator Marvin Heiferman asked Koons to make an artwork about the media on a billboard[8] for the show "Image World: Art and Media Culture". Koons employed his then wife Ilona Staller ("Cicciolina") as a model in the shoot that formed the basis of the resulting work for the Whitney, Made in Heaven (1990–91).[34] Including works with such titles as Dirty Ejaculation and Ilonaʼs Asshole, the series of enormous grainy[35] photographs printed on canvas, glassworks, and sculptures portrayed Koons and Staller in highly explicit sexual positions and created considerable controversy. The paintings of the series reference art from the Baroque and Rococo periods—among others, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Jean-Honoré Fragonard and François Boucher—and also draw upon the breakthroughs of early modern painters as Gustave Courbet and Édouard Manet.[36]

The series was first shown at the 1990 Venice Biennale.[37] Koons reportedly destroyed much of the work when Staller took their son Ludwig with her to Italy.[38] In celebration of Made in Heaven's 20th anniversary, Luxembourg & Dayan chose to present a redux edition of the series.[36][39][40] The Whitney Museum also exhibited several of the photographs on canvas in their 2014 retrospective.

So, it's just a dude having sex with his (then) wife. I think it's shitty art though.

Whoa, that is seriously wrong to call that art. Also the fact that it is on the JimmyComet Instagram is still very suspicious, because there is no way that image does not look like sex with a pre-pubescent girl.. I was convinced of this and now I stand corrected but damn it is sooo wrong.

....I just looked up Cicciolina and she could have been one of Jeff Epstein girls -.. She "Admitted to being a spy for the Hungarian Communist Party while waitressing at a major international hotel in Budapest at the age of 19" lol. That is exactly what he has his girls doing.. getting the dirt on everyone.

It's not suspicious, you're just incorrect. I don't see why you see a prepubescent girl in that photo. The pixelation covers so much that it's hard at first glance to tell what the heck it is. If Alefantis knows who Jeff Koons is, he would know who Ciccolina is.
Koons made a lot of terrbile art.

I did like his giant puppy sculpture though. http://puppymuseum.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Bilbao49.jpg

I supplied the edited version so I wouldn't get banned, but was referring to the UNEDITED VERSION that was posted below by Wellington33- Look again. The pixelated version is unidentifiable.

I just checked to see how old she was in the photo.

She married Jeff Koons in 1991. She was born in 1951. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilona_Staller
