Jeff Koons — Bread with Egg (green)
Jeff Koons

Bread with Egg (green)

A meticulously crafted sculpture by Jeff Koons, *Bread with Egg (green)* presents an everyday domestic object rendered in Hydrocal and delicately hand-painted with tempera in a striking green hue. The work transforms the mundane into the monumental, elevating a simple loaf of bread topped with an egg into a polished, almost surreal artifact. True to Koons' signature aesthetic, the piece blurs the boundary between the commonplace and the extraordinary, inviting viewers to reconsider the cultural and consumer significance of ordinary objects.

Medium
Hydrocal multiple hand-painted with tempera.
