CENTRE POMPIDOU, PARIS Visited: 15.02.15 Whilst in Paris a few weeks ago, I couldn't resist the temptation to pop along to the current Jeff Koons exhibition showing at the Centre Pompidou. I had known Koons to be the artist/ sculptor of the iconic balloon dog but had never seen any of his works and since his balloon dog (which appears a shiny, plastic balloon when in fact being a stainless steel sculpture) was sold in 2013 for a staggering £36 million, becoming the world record auction price for a living artist I thought it would be worth checking out his work with the naked eye. The Inflatable series The Inflatables is seen by Koons as his first series which he created with blow up toys that he had bought from discount stores in New York which are displayed and positioned on mirrors. His fascination with inflatable objects is demonstrated by the use of mirrors reflecting not only a double angled vision encore of them but also ourselves..
