GGG: Vandals ran wild this weekend, tagging the walls at a Jeff Koons exhibit and deflating Paul McCarthy's butt plug sculpture in Paris. This was the second time someone added graffiti to the Koons show at the Whitney, though no art was damaged. Paul McCarthy's inflatable Tree was unveiled on Friday, and somebody had popped that sucker by Saturday morning. Parisians were angered because the sculpture looked like a sex toy, and the artist was apparently beaten up during installation. He did not want the butt plug to be restored for fear of more angry mobs.
