In 1994, a monumental inflatable dog is exhibited for the first time and is set to remain on the international art scene for decades to come. In 2013, this same Balloon Dog, a work by Jeff Koons, beats the record for the most expensive work sold by a living artist at 58.4 million dollars. Born in 1955, Koons is known for his gigantic representations of mass media objects. Opinions on the artist vary: some see him as a pioneer, who will change art forever. Others consider him of bad taste and too commercial. Jeff Koons and His Infamous Balloon Dog (x)
