I have transformed a usual and ephemeral object - a simple balloon - into a monumental work that has the power to survive”. Balloon Dog is one of Jeff Koons' best-known sculptures. A multiple that exists in 5 colours (blue, magenta, yellow, orange and red), is exhibited all over the world and bought by major collectors, such as François Pinault or Eli Broad, for dizzying sums. In November 2013, Balloon Dog (orange) sold at Christie's for $58,405,000. This gleaming metal sculpture is a monumental copy of a dog made of balloons as made by street entertainers for children. A solid and heavy sculpture imitating a light and fragile toy with a perfect reflective surface. A funny comic sculpture, in homage to his son whom he no longer saw after his divorce from the Cicciolina.
