Catalogue Note:
Jeff Koons, born in 1955 in U.S.A., is a renowned contemporary artist. His works convey positive energies of acceptance, inclusion and compassion while discussing topics that resonate with people. Jeff Koons’s works have been exhibited all over the world and are collected by several public and private museums. The “Balloon Dog” work comes from Koons’s most famous series “Celebration” marking the start of a new chapter in his creative career. As the artist once said, “We are ourselves just like these inflatables; we take a breath, we expand, we contract... Our last breath in life leads to our deflation.” These colorful sculptures not only exhibit an impressive display of skills, they also give viewers a sense of pure joy.
