Rabbit - Jeff Koons

An interesting concept with Koon's Rabbit is that it began as an inflatable toy which was then manipulated and made out of stainless steel. At initial glance the rabbit appears to be lightweight and almost fragile but in reality its quite heavy and tough. This piece has a reflective aspect to it similar to a mirror and in a way is like jewelry because of its shininess. The stainless steel characteristic draws a lot of attention from viewers especially when featured in galleries and exhibits. This work of art has a uniqueness like that of Hirst's Platinum Skull because they both are very luxurious looking pieces that feature bright surfaces that attract lots of attention and high selling prices.
