About

Koons holds the record for the most expensive work by a living artist to be sold at auction: his 1986 stainless steel sculpture ‘Rabbit’ went for $91.1 million at Sotheby’s in May 2019. Known for his shiny sculptural depictions of balloon animals and gigantic flowering topiary installations (including Puppy, part of the Guggenheim Bilbao’s permanent collection), Koons borrows throwaway objects from popular culture and lends them a luxurious permanence, at the same time making his work accessible and relatable to a wide audience.

The supermodel Stephanie Seymour has a specially-commissioned replica of Puppy at the Connecticut estate she shares with her husband, the industrialist Peter Brant.
