Jeff Koons
Balloon Dog (Blue)
Los Angeles, USA: Museum of Contemporary Art, 1995
26 x 26 x 10.8 cm.
Edition of 2300 numbered copies [+50 AP]
Despite being produced in a large edition size and being reissued a few times, this work regularly sells for upwards of ten grand at auction. We had a few at Art Metropole when I was there, selling for between five and eight hundred dollars.
Toronto audiences weren’t interested, but they sold quickly when we took them to art fairs (Basel, Berlin).
I’m lukewarm on a lot of Koons’ works, but I’m drawn to the populist pieces like this and the flower dog.
