Jeff Koons transforms a simple twisted balloon swan into a reflective magenta porcelain for his limited edition, Balloon Swan (Magenta) . The original Balloon Swan, 2004–2011, is a monumental sculpture, standing over 3 meters high, in mirror-polished stainless steel with transparent color coating in five unique versions: magenta, red, violet, blue, and yellow. The figure of the swan has significant personal resonance for the artist; it was one of the first sculptures Koons made at 9 years old in ceramic, for which the young artist diligently worked on to get the angle of the neck correct. For Balloon Swan , he worked for over a year and a half shaping its graceful neck. Through research, modeling, milling, polishing, and lacquering, the swan was elevated to its final monumental form. His perseverance resulted in a work that alludes to the playfulness of childhood while its simplified, reflective surface also communicates desire and acceptance. Koons had an epiphany when he first saw the swan's two-dimensional form on the computer: \" Balloon Swan harmonizes sexual energy. If you look at it from the front, it's totem-like and male. If you go to the side it becomes female. Balloon Swan is reminiscent of classical works, it defines beauty as sexual harmony.\" Copyright: Jeff Koons\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBernardaud Jeff Koons Porcelain Edition Pink\u003c\/strong\u003e is crafted by Bernardaud, the storied Limoges porcelain house founded in 1863.
