'Balloon Dog (Blue)', 2021, is the first time that Jeff Koons has created a free-standing 'Balloon Dog' in this scale. This piece is a continuation of his famous 'Celebrations' series which the artist first began working on in 1993 and completed in 2000. It consisted of monumental hyper-polished sculptures of nostalgic items such as balloon animals, part hats and Play-Doh. This limited edition of 799 was hand crafted in Limoges, France, the premiere city for French porcelain production since the 19th century. A symbol of contemporary art, the 'Balloon Dog' in fact marries the traditional process of fine porcelain production with new, never before applied technologies to achieve the dog's iconic hyper-polished metallic-like surface.
