“I paid to see all of Versailles,” said Sylvie Guérin, an administrative technician from Montreal. “I didn’t come here to see a red lobster that I can buy in a gas station in Quebec to go in my pool.”
Koons's work are conceptual. They aren't easy to approach comparing with Europe paintings. Putting them in Versailles isn't really a good idea. His work is great in some aspect; however, they don't much the style of the building. There is no doubt that visitors don't appreciate them. It's just like you went to a coffee shop but only serve tea. The curator shouldn't have blurred the attraction of Versailles.
