Koons's "Rabbit"
Jeff Koons's "Rabbit" is a contemporary art sculpture made from highly polished stainless steel, resembling a playful, inflatable rabbit. Created in 1986, it reflects Koons's exploration of childhood innocence and popular culture through a sleek, reflective surface that mimics a real balloon animal. The smooth, mirror-like finish invites viewers to see themselves reflected, blurring the line between art and observer. "Rabbit" embodies themes of capitalism, perception, and modernity, transforming a simple, familiar shape into a work of fine art that challenges traditional notions of value and originality.
