About the artwork

This diamond is a limited edition made in the Bernardaud workshops in Limoges, France, which transforms one of Jeff Koons' famous monumental stainless steel sculptures from the Celebration series into porcelain. This enormous red diamond looks like something straight out of an American cartoon. The artist exploits popular subjects and forms that are recognizable to all, far removed from the elitist cultural clichés with which museums are filled. The use of reflective color is a recurrent practice in Jeff Koons' work, enabling him to play with the viewer and his reflection.

Expert opinion

This diamond is emblematic of Jeff Koons' work. Like the Balloon Animals, the diamond has become an icon of contemporary art. The artist worked with the famous Bernardaud workshops in Limoges to produce this edition.

About the artist

Jeff Koons, American artist born in 1955. Lives and works in New York (USA). With a father who was an interior decorator, Jeff Koons grew up in an artistic environment and studied at the Chicago School of Fine Arts. Alongside his work as a trader, he developed his artistic practice in a kitsch style borrowed from popular culture. Following in the footsteps of Marcel Duchamp and Andy Warhol, the objects Jeff Koons conjures up go beyond the serial stage to become veritable icons. Inflatable Rabbit is a prime example. Celebrated and collected worldwide, Jeff Koons exhibited at the Château de Versailles (France) in 2008 and at the Fondation Beyeler (Basel, Switzerland) in 2012. A retrospective of his work was organized in 2014 at the Centre Pompidou (Paris, France).

“Art must be accessible to all. The art world uses taste as a form of segregation. I try to make work that everyone can enjoy, that even the simplest people can't imagine not being able to understand. I come from a very provincial background.”
