{"product_id":"jeff-koons-balloon-dog-plate-ii-cobalt-blue","title":"Jeff Koons Cobalt Blue Balloon Dog Plate","description":"\u003cp\u003eCreated in 2002 within Jeff Koons’ landmark “Celebration” series, the “Balloon Dog Plate” translates one of the most recognizable icons of postwar pop-inflected sculpture into fine porcelain, preserving the seductive sheen and disarming optimism that made Koons a defining voice of contemporary art. Internationally collected and institutionally represented—from the Guggenheim to MoMA—Koons’ market has been reinforced by decades of museum validation and blue-chip auction performance, including headline records exceeding $91 million, situating works tied to the “Balloon Dog” motif among the most culturally legible and widely pursued of his oeuvre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis example is number 507 from the limited edition of 2,300 and is presented in the coveted Cobalt Blue variant, regarded as the rarest and most sought-after colorway among the known releases. As a museum-grade multiple connecting directly to the “Celebration” narrative—where childhood ephemera is elevated to the status of luxury artifact—it offers a compelling intersection of cultural significance and collectible scarcity. As of July 2024, comparable market levels are indicated around €19,000, with limited availability and no verified pieces currently offered for sale in Italy, underscoring the difficulty of sourcing the cobalt edition through domestic channels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collecto Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53877837758804,"sku":"620","price":16500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/9083\/7588\/files\/file-1731514439544-file-1719841168642-1.png?v=1772729992","url":"https:\/\/collectoarchive.com\/products\/jeff-koons-balloon-dog-plate-ii-cobalt-blue","provider":"Collecto Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
