Balloon Venus Lespugue (Orange)
2013
Jeff Koons's Balloon Venus Lespugue (Orange), created between 2013 and 2019, reimagines the prehistoric Venus of Lespugue figurine as a monumental, inflatable form executed in mirror polished stainless steel with a vibrant transparent orange coating. The sculpture's sleek, reflective surfaces capture and distort the viewer's surroundings, embodying Koons's signature dialogue between consumer culture and art history. Exhibited at the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens as part of the exhibition Jeff Koons: Venus Lespugue, the work bridges Paleolithic imagery and contemporary visual language. Its large scale and luminous orange hue make it a commanding and collectible centerpiece representative of Koons's most iconic body of work.
