“Cracked Egg (Red)” is a sculpture created by the artist Jeff Koons between 1994 and 2006. Rendered in steel and classified under the Neo-Pop Art movement, this artwork exemplifies the genre of sculpture.
The artwork presents a meticulously crafted representation of a cracked egg, rendered in a striking red hue. The sculpture is composed of two primary fragments: one upright reflecting the inner and outer surfaces of the egg, and the other lying beside it, showcasing its smooth, reflective steel surfaces. The polished finish of the steel contributes to a glossy, mirror-like effect that enhances the aesthetic appeal of the piece. This work demonstrates Koons’s ability to transform everyday objects into monumental, yet playful, contemporary art icons.
