Jeff Koons: Balloon Venus (Dom Pérignon Edition) – Purple Magenta is an iconic masterpiece of contemporary art that meets the pinnacle of champagne.
Experience the symbiosis of archaic symbolism and modern luxury aesthetics. The Balloon Venus in radiant purple is not only an art object by Jeff Koons, the world’s most expensive living artist, but a statement of excellence, history, and pure joie de vivre.
The Design: A Homage to the Archetype of Femininity
Tens of thousands of years of art history converge in this sculpture. Inspired by the Venus of Willendorf, the prehistoric symbol of fertility and femininity, Jeff Koons transforms the earthy curves of the Stone Age into the playful, gleaming appearance of a balloon object. The Balloon Venus is part of the artist’s famous Antiquity series and translates humanity’s heritage into the language of the 21st century.
The Color: Majestic Purple Magenta
The Purple (Magenta) color variant is arguably the most expressive edition of this work. The deep, violet sheen lends the sculpture a regal aura and an almost hypnotic sense of depth. Thanks to its high-gloss polished surface, the object constantly interacts with its surroundings: it reflects light, space, and the viewer, thus becoming a living part of your interior design. The color symbolizes extravagance and passion—fitting for the fine contents it encloses.
Exclusive Functionality: The Shrine of Indulgence
This limited edition was created through a spectacular collaboration with the legendary house of Dom Pérignon. The Balloon Venus serves as an artistic “shrine”: the sculpture opens to reveal a custom-made space inside for a bottle of the legendary Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage.
Koons himself describes this structure as an act of birth: Venus “gives birth” to the champagne—a symbol of the emergence of life, pleasure, and the highest quality.
Craftsmanship & Limited Edition
Crafted from high-quality, specially lacquered polyurethane resin, the sculpture captivates with a perfection that tolerates no flaws. Every curve, every twist of the “balloon knots” is crafted with such precision that the illusion of air-filled rubber is perfect—even though the object possesses a solid, substantial weight.
Strictly limited: Only 650 copies of this edition exist worldwide.
Collector’s value: As one of Jeff Koons’ most sought-after multiples, this edition represents a stable investment and a highlight for any discerning art collection.
Make an unparalleled statement in your interior. The Balloon Venus in Purple is more than a decorative object—it is a celebration of the moment, encapsulated in the timeless form of a modern genius.

Between art and kitsch

Born in Philadelphia in 1955, Koons wanted one thing above all: to become rich and famous. After studying art, he worked at the Museum of Modern Art and as a broker in New York for a few years starting in 1976, so that he could finance his works himself. Soon he created the first of his legendary Balloon Animals, and the shooting star of Neo-Pop Art was on the rise. The colorful 1980s came just at the right time for Koons, who cites Marcel Duchamps, Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, and of course Andy Warhol as the most important artists who inspired him. In his works, Jeff Koons processes everyday objects that often have a strong connection to childhood. He imitates them, alienates them, exaggerates them, sexualizes them, or groups them with advertisements, photographs, or comics to create large-scale collages. Since the auction of the stainless steel sculpture Rabbit in 2019, Jeff Koons is again the most expensive living artist.
