Jeff Koons


Today we saw some artwork from the artist Jeff Koons. He is most known for recreating objects. He made several pieces to be shaped like balloon animals. The picture here is of a balloon dog. I find this piece of art to be very interesting. It is very realistic and looks just like a real balloon dog. When Jeff Koons created this piece, he meant for there to be no hidden meaning behind it. He wants his work to be seen as what it is and nothing more. There are only two major differences between this sculpture and a real dog-shaped balloon. One difference is that it is made of metal instead of balloons. The metal is painted in a bright color in order to give a more realistic appearance. The second major difference is that this piece is over ten feet tall.
