This limited edition porcelain sculpture captures the essence of Koons’ monumental Balloon Monkey in a smaller, highly collectible format. Finished in a vibrant orange glaze and produced in collaboration with Bernardaud, the piece blends playfulness with precision—transforming a fleeting childhood form into a refined, permanent object. A celebration of optimism, surface, and craftsmanship.
About The Artist
A towering figure in contemporary art, Jeff Koons (b. 1955) collapses the boundary between high art and mass culture. Known for his gleaming balloon animals, kitsch-inspired sculptures, and fearless embrace of commercial aesthetics, Koons has become a symbol of art-world ambition and spectacle. His work navigates irony, excess, and cultural obsession with celebrity and desire—often polarizing, always iconic. At Mania, we appreciate Koons for what he is: a provocateur of pop, and a master of scale who redefined the terms of postmodern luxury.
