At the risk of undoing your faith in the universe and the magnificent angels we are proud to call Artists, it appears Kayne West was engaged in a publicity stunt. I know. It shakes you down to the ground. There's still time to call up the bookie and change your bet in case pigs do not spontaneously grow wings at 3 PM and form huge, oinking flocks overhead. Vulture says:

It's almost as if he thought the controversy would buy some free publicity and raise his status as a dangerous artistic force being kept down by The Man. Whatever. Google George Condo for a look at his work. He seems to have many styles, but according to his wikipedia entry, "He currently lives and works in New York City, USA occupied with investigating the genre of portraiture." I'd say the chances he wrote that entry are about 100%. And the chance he'll do another West cover? 50-50.
