(Sculptor, Painter) Jeffrey Koons, an American artist, is renowned for his sculptures that depict ordinary objects, particularly balloon animals crafted from stainless steel with mirror-like finishes. His art draws inspiration from popular culture and has commanded high prices at auctions, such as Balloon Dog (Orange) selling for $58.4 million in 2013 and Rabbit for $91.1 million in 2019.
