Koons similarly employs highly polished stainless steel to create sculptural works that reference and subvert familiar objects, as seen in his Balloon Dog series, blending minimalist material choices with conceptual commentary on art history and consumer culture.

Fritsch creates sculptures that use sleek industrial materials and simplified forms to challenge sculptural tradition and perception, sharing Monk's interest in reducing familiar objects to their conceptual and formal essence.

Steinbach engages with conceptual minimalism by recontextualizing everyday objects through precise material presentation, closely paralleling Monk's strategy of using refined industrial surfaces to question the conventions and expectations of sculpture.
