You don't have to be a billionaire to own a Jeff Koons balloon dog. You don't even need a massive estate or your own museum to display it. A version of the $58 million record-setting sculpture is available in a smaller, more affordable size … on a plate.
For the second time, the American contemporary artist is teaming with French porcelain maker Bernardaud to produce a plate adorned with a 3D version of his beloved balloon dog. The dish is 1/10th the size of the original statue. Its production is limited to 2,300, and each dish will sell for $8,000. All net proceeds benefit the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, which is responsible for selling the collectable.
