Balloon Dog & More!

| Jeff Koons' balloon dogs are bringing record breaking prices at auction. |
Jeff Koons’s Balloon Dog has been lauded as one of the most beloved of all contemporary sculptural forms, having graced the rooftop of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, Venice’s Grand Canal, and Versailles Palace outside Paris. This past auction season, the artist’s monumental Balloon Dog (Orange) — a timeless and universal monument to the joys of childhood—came to New York's Christie's Auction House as a leading highlight of their Post-War & Contemporary Art Evening Sale. Having sold for $58.4 million, this Jeff Koons sculpture is now the most expensive artwork by a living artist ever to have been sold at auction.
He has done other balloon sculptures also, rabbit, snake, flowers, Venus....
We thought it would be fun to show a real master of inventive balloon sculptures, the artworks of Ron Driscoll.
These are made from real balloons!
Enjoy!
