“New Hoover Convertibles, Green, Red, Brown, New Shelton Wet/Dry 10 Gallon Displaced Doubledecker” is an artwork by Jeff Koons, created between the years 1981 and 1987. This piece, belonging to the Neo-Pop Art movement, is a sculpture made from ready-made materials, glass, and a light bulb.
The artwork comprises a meticulously arranged display of consumer appliances, featuring three upright Hoover vacuum cleaners and a Wet/Dry vacuum cleaner, each encased in a transparent display box. The vacuum cleaners are distinctly colored in green, red, and brown, presented in an orderly fashion that emphasizes their aesthetic and functional qualities. The clear glass enclosures and strategic positioning under bright lighting elevate these mundane objects to a realm of high art, inviting viewers to reconsider the intersection between everyday consumerism and conceptual art.
