    The American artist Jeff Koons is known for creating “pop culture” and reproduction artistic pieces. The Yellow Balloon Dog is part of his Celebration series which began in the mid-1990s and was conceived to encapsulate not only holidays and special occasions throughout the year but also the cycle of life. One of the most recognizable in this series is the Balloon Dog which was created in five unique versions to honor a simpler time in life, childhood. The large scale Yellow Balloon Dog was created using a mirror-polished stainless steel and a transparent yellow coating. Jeff Koons specially chose Bernardaud to produce the smaller scale, collectors Yellow Balloon Dog. This collector’s item is a replica of its larger counterpart and made of porcelain placed on a reflective porcelain plate. These pieces are signed and numbered and contain a certificate of authenticity as they are limited editions.
