Jeff Koons - Balloon Dog
Video interview
January 3rd, 2014
An interview with Jeff Koons, in his studio in New York. Reflections on his "nflatable" steel and the mythical doggie auctioned in November that showed a quotation record ever achieved by a living artist.
"Art is not something that happens inside the object , but in the viewer." Revolves around this consideration the reflection of Jeff Koons, king of the new pop movement and heir of Warhol, which takes us into a world made of reflective materials, so shiny and revered by the extra-large dog, during the auction at Christie's, from an initial price of 55 million came to 58.4 million, earning the title of most expensive work of art .
The collectors who own a copy of the inflatable can be counted on the fingers of one hand and are exactly 4 Ely Broad in blue, the industrialist Dakis Joannou greek one red, one yellow entrepreneur Steven Cohen and Francois Pinault fuchsia.
