“Lobster,” crafted by Jeff Koons in 2003 in the United States, is a steel sculpture that is part of the Neo-Pop Art movement. This artwork belongs to Koons’ “Popeye” series and exemplifies the genre of sculpture.
The artwork features a brilliantly vivid, stylized depiction of a lobster. The sculpture portrays a vibrant orange lobster, meticulously detailed to mimic the appearance of an inflatable pool toy. Its surface is adorned with a series of playful yellow and black patterns, highlighting its Neo-Pop Art characteristics. The lobster hangs vertically from a chain, capturing a whimsical, almost buoyant quality, making it both a striking and captivating piece. The choice of steel as a medium enhances its prominence and durability, juxtaposing the seemingly delicate, inflatable form with the robust, enduring nature of the material.
