Jeff Koon's Balloon Venus For Dom Perignon.


This new collaboration from Dom Perignon may be the most perfect product ever produced, the work brings together Jeff Koons inspirational sculpture work, with a bottle of one of Dom Perignon's finest Rose vintages, the 2003.  Why perfect?  well, after spending £15,000 on a champagne holder/sculpture, you need a drink!


Jokes aside the piece takes Koon's Antiquity series started in 2008, which playfully explores motifs from the history of art, and adds his trademark, creative twist, in this case, the Venus of Willendorf a Paleolithic sculpture from 23,000 BC.  The Sculpture from Koons for the 2003 Dom Perignon rose, embraces the bottle, in a type of modern-day goddess of love, and it's reflective curves show the viewer his own image twisted and warped back at him.

The sculpture, which is sure to be a art piece long after it ceases to be a champagne rest, is available in a strictly limited quantity of 350 worldwide, and will retail at £15,000 as already stated, contact Dom Peringon for further details of availability.
