“Cat on a Clothesline (Aqua),” a sculpture created by Jeff Koons between 1994 and 2001, is a distinguished piece within the Neo-Pop Art and Conceptual Art movements. The artwork prominently features a whimsical scene, executed in a vibrantly colored, larger-than-life style typical of Koons’ oeuvre.
The sculpture depicts a playful and endearing portrayal of a ginger cat, rendered in a highly polished, realistically textured style. The cat is charmingly positioned within a teal cloth, suspended as if on a clothesline. This cloth is clipped by oversized, brightly colored clothespins, and flanked by two exuberant, oversized flowers—one pink and one blue—each with a vivid yellow center. The overall composition combines elements of the everyday with a fantastical, larger-than-life execution, evoking both a sense of nostalgia and whimsy. The artwork is set against a minimalistic backdrop, further accentuating its vivid colors and playful aesthetic.
