Market Friday - Jeff Koons Balloon Art

This is a post for Market Friday Hosted by @dswigle, its a way to show markets you may go, and I take a little bit of creative licence with my entries, like this week I am sharing a shop window and not a full-blown Market but I hope it will still count.

I was walking along Park Ave when I saw a shop window with some pieces of Balloon art by Jeff Koons, he has had a few large pieces on display in NYC and I always love his pieces so thought I would get some shots of these pieces to share with you.

Now I am often critical of myself for not being very original with the names iIuse for my photos, but after seeing Jeff Koons Pieces in the Bernardaud Gallery which I understand is a high-end gallery for China, Homeware and Jewels, I felt a little better, this piece is called Balloon Rabbit(Red)

Well, maybe I still feel a bit name challenged I may not have thought of putting the color in brackets ;)

And this one was called Balloon Swan (Yellow), so whoever named these pieces was consitnet with the naming vonvention at least :)

This was my favorite piece, its a Monkey in Blue, and since Blue and or purple are my favorite colors if I was going to buy one of these its the one I would go for. And after typing that I was curious how much it would cost and went and googled it to see.

Well, it's a little, well by little I mean a lot out of my budget at the moment, I didn't find this exact piece on the website, but other pieces of his work start at $9000 and go up from there.

And here we have another pice an Orange Dog this one has a backing to it, which was kind of cool with the reflections.

And another of the dogs, my mind is still thinking about the piece, I dread to imagine how much the large balloon flower piece in one of the Fountains near the World Trade Center is worth.
