About Chainlink

The artwork titled “Chainlink” is a sculpture by Jeff Koons, created in 2003. This piece, which falls under the Neo-Pop Art movement, is part of the “Popeye” series and is crafted from steel. It combines elements of both sculpture and installation genres.

The artwork features a chainlink fence with two inflatable pool toys depicting a turtle and a hippopotamus. Both inflatables are vibrantly colored— the turtle in green and purple, and the hippopotamus in blue and pink. The whimsical toys are attached in a playful manner, contrasting sharply with the industrial nature of the steel fence. The juxtaposition highlights themes of childlike innocence against a stark, utilitarian backdrop.
