When Dolly Parton [posted a grid of four photos of herself](https://twitter.com/DollyParton/status/1219681321762656256?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1219681321762656256&ref%5Furl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsweek.com%2Fdolly-parton-challenge-viral-meme-social-media-celebrities-instagram-twitter-1483857&ref=hyperallergic.com) labeled “LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Tinder” — ingeniously captioned “Get you a woman who can do it all” — she may not have predicted the extent of the Internet’s fascination with grouping things into categories. The meme is officially having a viral moment, with celebrities from Mindy Kaling to Janet Jackson creating their own interpretations of themselves, their pets, or inanimate objects as each of the four social media platforms.

And, since art is but an imitation of life, museums, auction houses, and artists have stepped up to the challenge, too. “Get you a museum that can do it all,” said MFA Boston and London’s Natural History Museum in the captions to their Dolly Parton memes. Two versions by the anonymous Instagram account and art world *éminence grise* @[JerryGogosian](https://www.instagram.com/jerrygogosian/?ref=hyperallergic.com) flaunt the many guises of Klaus Biesenbach and Larry Gagosian; another tells a brief history of Jeff Koons’s career, from shiny, high-powered $91 million rabbit sculpture (LinkedIn) to shapeless mound of Play-Doh (Facebook, obviously.)

In its [ongoing and genuinely admirable effort](https://hyperallergic.com/a-sothebys-partnership-brings-together-old-master-paintings-and-streetwear/) to try to make Old Master paintings cool, Sotheby’s shows us “the many faces” of their upcoming Masters Weeks sales, and the Museo de Arte de Ponce in Puerto Rico highlights important works from their permanent collection.
