The puppy series by Jeff Koons

Abstract

In this paper we will show how Jeff Koons has managed to combine the landscape sculpture and architecture realizingt an interesting series of the floral starting from 1992 until 2002. The novelty brought by the Koon’s works is given by the shape and size of the entire series. These works represent the form of the pet puppies, the Terrier race, oversized up to a 13 meter height. The flower pots are supported by metal frames. Although the flowers are perennial, these floral arrangements look wonderful and they need a lot of care by qualified personnel. The visual effect of such floral arrangements is special and for this it is worth the effort. Until now, the artist Jeff Koons has created several of these floral arrangements located in different contries in the world, such as: The Schloss Arolsen, Germany during Documenta IX, 1992, Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao, Spain, 1997, The Brant Foundation, Greenwich, Connecticut, 2002. The artistic quality of this series of pet puppies is controversial because the art critics have a different opinion about it. Desipe this, art collectors are still interested in floral arrangements. Placed in different locations these works get on different meanings aesthetic and managed to impose itself as an argument in support of the contemporary artistic approach.
