The artwork “Inflatable Flowers (Short Pink, Tall Purple)” was created by Jeff Koons in 1979 in the United States. Crafted from glass and ready-made materials, this sculpture is a notable example of Neo-Pop Art and Conceptual Art.
The artwork comprises two inflatable flowers, one short and pink in color, and the other tall and purple. The pink flower features petal-shaped segments arranged radially, evoking a playful and whimsical aesthetic. The tall purple flower, characterized by its vertical stature and vibrant petals, stands next to the shorter counterpart. The flowers’ gleaming surfaces reflect the light, underscoring the artificiality and playful nature inherent in Koons’ work, blending everyday objects with artistic expression. This piece epitomizes the fusion of consumer culture and high art, a hallmark of the artist’s oeuvre within the Neo-Pop Art movement.
