Metalized Porcelain - Signature and edition number fired into rear of piece - Published by the Metropolitan Museum of Contemporary Art // Jeff Koons' Red Balloon Dog (1995) is a porcelain sculpture that captures the essence of his playful and iconic use of everyday objects in fine art. This piece, featuring a reflective red balloon dog on a round porcelain plate, mirrors Koons' fascination with pop culture, kitsch, and childhood nostalgia. The metallic red finish gives the impression of an inflated balloon, but the durable porcelain material transforms this fleeting party decoration into a permanent, high-art object. The combination of vibrant color, glossy surface, and playful subject matter is characteristic of Koons' style, blurring the lines between mass-produced items and luxury art.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
