Pop art legend Jeff Koons has teamed with Dom Pérignon to create a limited edition Rosé housed in Koons’ polyurethane resin sculpture “The Balloon Venus for Dom Pérignon.” The modified (and miniature) version of his Balloon Venus piece is a sculpture that’s also a bottle case. Open it and you’ll discover a bottle of Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2003.
Adapted from the original Balloon Venus in high chromium stainless steel currently on exhibit at the Gagosian Gallery in Manhattan, only a few hundred of “The Balloon Venus for Dom Pérignon” will be available worldwide. The price is a hefty $20,000.
If that sounds expensive, consider that Koons’ “Tulips” sculpture sold for $33 million at auction last year.
