Jeff Koons on the roof

Exhibition: ” Jeff Koons on the roof” in Metropolitan Museum of Art
Balloon Dog (1994-2000) is made by high chromium stainless steel with transparent color coating, height 121 x 143 x 45 inches, and it has 5 unique versions (Blue, Magenta, Yellow, Orange, Red. ) The artwork is extremely simple, but it has great challenge in materials and technique of creation, because artist try to make the enormous sculpture which made by stainless steel looks like balloon in enormous, therefore, Koons cooperated with physicist and chemist, and spent several years to simulated the texture, then created the beautiful artworks. It looks simple, but extremely complex, isn’t it?

In addition, there is a critical article by Kelly Devine Thomas (ARTnews), she mentioned that there are several points in Jeff Koons’s artwork.
1. Koons always created enormous artworks, and only rich people can buy it, because of their mega-mansion.
2. Great feels of works, and makes people want to buy it.
3. Koons’s works can touch the lonely of people, especially rich people.
4. Koons promoted himself to be like famous people, and created a lot of topical subjects.
5. Koons just like an advertizing star, more than artist.
I like the honesty of Jeff Koons, he didn’t hide the desire about money and reputation, and he also has great talent in art field. Moreover, I believe that he has good concept of advertisement, as a result, he can keep increased the value of his works, and create Incredible price.
