"Big Time"

This article appears to be alluding to the discrepency between the impoverished place our country is in because of our recent economic downfall, and glitzy, oppulant display of art in this exhibit. The author does not condemn this exhibition for its oppulence, but does talk about it. I think what the author is trying to say in that ironic, low brow works, like Jeff Koon's big money pieces, were a strange juxtaposition to our current economic times. They may not have been out of context when they were made (a few years back), but now they seem to be waving their price tags high up: at a level no one can seem to reach right now.
