Description

Limited Edition of 999. Balloon Monkey (Blue) by Koons, is based on a balloon that is twisted into the shape of a monkey. Seven years in the making, the original Balloon Monkey, 2006–2013, is 12 ½ feet long and weighs nearly five tons. The monumental sculpture is made from mirror-polished stainless steel finished with transparent color coating in five unique versions: blue, magenta, orange, red and yellow. Jeff Koons has been interested in cultural subject matter with widespread appeal throughout his career. It is, therefore, fitting that the monkey has been a recurring motif in his body of work. Among the artist’s work, his most well-known is the life-sized porcelain artwork created in 1988, Michael Jackson and Bubbles. Humankind’s close kinship with primates has captured artist’s fascination throughout history, serving as an allegorical figure for universal themes such as the pursuit of pleasure, sexuality and innocence. Balloon Monkey explores these themes, evident through the playful form juxtaposed with tumescent tail, undoubtedly a phallic reference. Koons merges these typically contradictory concepts through the reduction of the subject to its most essential form, thereby purifying otherwise conflicting sensations for the viewer to achieve the elevated state of transcendence through self-acceptance.

The Artisan

Bernardaud

For more than 150 years, the company bearing the family’s name has been synonymous with Limoges porcelain. Over the generations, Bernardaud has grown into a major player on the French luxury and international decorative arts scene.
Porcelain has been used for millennia, but it still detains properties and applications whose potential has never been fully explored. In this quest the founders have been fortunate to have been able to build on the legacy of their predecessors and on the two-pronged approach that is the signature of the family house: drawing from the traditions of a heritage craft, we seek to innovate and march to the beat of our own drum.
This modus operandi is governed by the values of the family company which permeate the thinking and the entire approach to business. At Bernardaud we are all very proud to contribute the best of ourselves and keep up our ongoing quest for excellence.
