I hope that this was a simple troll attempt.... :-)
Mr Klein doesn't want to work at McDonalds?! That comment would be funny, if it weren't so alarming. For the record, he could probably buy several McDonald's restaurants himself, were he alive today to sell his works personally.
One should also not be so quick as to consider Klein's work in monochrome blue (IKE) in a vacuum. Take his "fire paintings" for example.
I advise you, with all due respect, to actually familiarize yourself with an artist before making sweeping generalizations about him and his work.
