Jeff Koons, Balloon Animals Set 

The Jeff Koons Balloon Animals set includes three of his most iconic sculptures: a monkey, a swan and a dog, made of highly reflective glazed porcelain. The works come with a certificate of authenticity. 

Jeff Koons Balloon Animals sculptures have made their mark on contemporary art history. They are part of Jeff Koons' Celebration series, which includes works made between the 1990s and early 2000s, in stainless steel with special paints. With Celebration, Jeff Koons praises childhood: the balloons - whose lightness is only apparent - recall the carefreeness and simplicity of children.

After auctioning off the stainless steel sculpture Balloon Dog at the highest price ever achieved for a living artist, Jeff Koons has created smaller versions of it, diversifying the colors and subject matter. Partnering with porcelain manufacturer Bernandaud, Koons combined excellent quality materials and innovative processes with a high level of craftsmanship to create dogs, monkeys, swans, Venuses and rabbits. 

Jeff Koons says he is fascinated by balloon animals because of their resemblance to humans.

"We are balloons. If you take a breath and inhale, it's optimism. You exhale, and it's kind of a symbol of death."

Jeff Koons: Art of Balloon

Jeffrey Koons, simply known as Jeff Koons (York - Pennsylvania, 21 January 1955), is an American artist considered an icon of the neo-pop style.

Jeff Koons Artist is known for his works in kitsch style that ironically illustrate the American way of life and its tendency to consumerism.

In the second half of the 70's, he frequented for two years the important Art Institute of Chicago, where he had the opportunity to follow the lessons of the famous teacher and painter Ed Pasche.

In 1977 he moved to New York, where he abandoned the formality of traditional painting, embracing the conceptual tide; in this period, he took inspiration from particular artists such as Martin Kippensberger and Robert Smithson.

During his career, Koons has produced artworks using a vast range of techniques - such as sculpture, painting, installations and photo - and the most varied materials.

The artist is generally defined as heir of Andy Warhol and continuator of the pop art; he is often also associate to Marcel Duchamp, of which Koons reinterprets the technique of the ready-made.

Therefore, his art is indissolubly tied up to the mass culture and the society of consumerism, with which Koons establishes an ambiguous relationship: on one side, mass culture is his principal source of inspiration, while from the other, his works express an explicit criticism with some intelligent irony toward the banality and the superficiality of consumerism.

What strikes of Jeff Koons' art is its contradictions, its ability to express a strong criticism towards the modern society and the American way of life by using the same tools that feed this system: the artist desecrates that society that has made him rich and famous (and continuous to do it).

Today Jeff Koons is considered one of the richest artists in the world and he’s very desired on the contemporary art market.

The value of his works has grown enormously in the last years. "Balloon dog", the famous sculpture from 1990 representing a dog made with the toy balloons in five different colours, has been in fact sold at Christie's auction New York in the 12th November 2013 for 58,4 million dollars.

Until that moment, an artwork of a living artist never reached such a value.
