The artwork titled “Monkey (Yellow)” is a steel sculpture created by artist Jeff Koons between the years 2004 and 2009. As part of the Neo-Pop Art movement, this piece exemplifies the vibrancy and playfulness characteristic of the genre.
The artwork features a stylized depiction of a monkey’s face, rendered in a bright yellow hue. The design is minimalistic, with simple lines and shapes forming the monkey’s eyes, nose, and smiling mouth, framed by what appears to be ears on either side. The use of bold yellow against a white background gives the piece an eye-catching and cheerful appearance, reflecting themes of innocence and joy. The smooth, polished steel medium used for this piece adds a modern and industrial touch to the otherwise whimsical subject matter.
