Balloon Flower

It's not the Balloon Flower, by Jeff Koons, it's an inflatable replica or signpost for Koons' work, without the mirror finish, or the "aura" of being an original (if such a thing could be said to apply to Koons' work). The original, "the ultimate Koonsian trophy" according to Christies, is also owned by the Daimler collection. It sits in Berlin's Potsdamer Platz.

The work is outside the front of the Singapore Art Museum from late November 2008 to early March, 2009.
