Sleek and sculptural, Balloon Swan (Magenta) reinterprets a simple balloon twist into a luminous porcelain work. Glazed in a striking magenta and produced with Bernardaud, the piece reflects Koons’ fascination with transformation—turning ephemeral gestures into enduring icons. Compact in scale, but rich in form and finish, it distills the artist’s playful grandiosity into a collectible, high-gloss statement.
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.
