About
With the Balloon Dog collector’s edition made of high-quality porcelain, Koons took up the iconic motif of his oversized Balloon Dog sculptures from the famous Celebration series, created between 1994 and 2000.
FIRST SCULPTURES AT THE AGE OF 9
Koons made his first porcelain sculpture in the form of a swan when he was only 9 years old, laying the basis for the Balloon Swan.
EASY-GOING MOTIVES
Decades later, Koons transforms his childhood memories into seductively reflective sculptures whose lighthearted motifs bring to mind the fleeting nature of all of life’s pleasures, taking Koons‘ world-famous Celebration Series as a model.
