Jeff Koons’ Balloon Dog (Magenta) from 2015 transforms the playful form of a twisted balloon animal into a refined, collectible artwork. Rendered in porcelain with a lustrous chromatic coating, the sculpture captures Koons’ signature blend of childhood nostalgia and high art spectacle. This signed limited edition exemplifies his ability to merge pop culture with luxurious craftsmanship. “Balloon Dog is a very optimistic piece, it is a balloon that a clown would have maybe twist for you at a birthday party.  But at the same time there’s the profoundness of an archaic sculpture.” – Jeff Koons
