A playful rabbit sculpture by Jeff Koons has become the most expensive work by a living artist ever to sell at auction.
The new record comes just six months after David Hockney's"Portrait of an Artist " set a new benchmark for a living artist, when it sold "It is crisp and cool in its appearance, yet taps into the visual language of childhood," read a sale preview on the auction house's website."Its lack of facial features renders it inscrutable, yet its form evokes fun and frivolity."Koons' 1986 sculpture is one from of an edition of three plus one artist's proof.
Gee, I’d be happy to make another rabbit, and I am only asking 70 mil!
Geez, I used to like Koons, but this balloon sculpture schtick wore off after his Balloon Dog...
Judging by its curves in the legs.. It looks like a inflated silver balloon.
Rip off
Why
Disgusting
Wow. Is this an investment? Is he hopping they multiply as such?🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰😂🤣 But seriously the money for the bunny could have fed 3 times +++ that many people.
It was you Ubisoft ?
People are crazy
Mr. Koons mom said, 'It was worth every penny to see Jeffy's face light up like that!'
It's not even a good rabbit
Disgusting. The next time I go to give someone homeless a few dollars, I’ll tell them a story about How a stupid metal rabbit sold for $91 million, and how the news pushed the story.
Sounds like some money laundering.
Life of the super rich. It's when you have so much money you don't know what else to buy so you buy a rabbit sculpture for $90m knowing that another super rich with the same dilemma would spend more to buy it from you in the future.
Stupid!!!!!
Who bought it CNN?
'And if we cut taxes on the rich, they will invest that money in new factories, which will create more jobs for Americans.'
Can you say money laundering?
jennablan What is it about shit sinking to the bottom?
And in other news, Twitter user mklyia wonders what she'll do with the ~1m she'll be lucky to make in her lifetime. One thing is for sure, she'll continue to wipe with toilet paper.
That's absurd.
I wish I could think of something better that money could have been spent on.
Looks like a tiny StarRabbit
disgusting waste of money
Mylar balloon?
Achievement of democracy , capitalism and what not ....
Jeff Koons is living a delusional fantasy.
