Limoges porcelain with chromatic coating
Balloon Dog (Blue) from 2021 is ca. 40 x 48 x 15,8 cm (15.7 x 18.9 x 6.2 in.) Diamond (Red) from 2020 is 32,4 × 32 × 39,2 cm (12.8 × 12.6 × 15.4 in.)
We are delighted to offer you a unique set of only 99 conceived matching edition numbers from Jeff Koons's limited art editions of the "Balloon Dog (Blue)" created in 2021 from the edition of 799 pieces and the festive "Diamond (Red)", created in 2020 from an edition number of 599. Both works are part of the American artist's "Celebration" series, which Koons started in 1994.
The series evolved from Koons's desire to recreate the ecstatic experiences in one's life such as birthday parties and festive events, hence the "Balloon Dog (Blue)" that a clown would create at a memorable child's party and the "Diamond (Red)" symbolising an engagement ring. These two limited art editions are labouriously created out of Limoges porcelain with chromatic coating, which gives them chameleon-like qualities; their reflective surfaces are capable of physically changing with its surroundings and its many-layered meanings make these works conceptually change in the mind of each viewer. Each edition is signed and numbered and the works from this set share the same edition numbers, which makes them a rare and desirable collectible.
“One of the things that I’m most proud of is making work that lets viewers not feel intimidated by art, but feel that they can emotionally participate in it through their senses and their intellect and be fully engaged.” —Jeff Koons
