About Teapot

The artwork, titled “Teapot,” is a ready-made sculpture created by the American artist Jeff Koons in 1979. It belongs to the Conceptual Art movement.

The artwork features a vertically mounted, cylindrical structure consisting of two elongated tubes with a vibrant, striped pattern in shades of blue and green. At the center of these tubes, a circular element is positioned horizontally, with a black teapot affixed to it. The teapot is presented handle-side forward, making it the focal point. Beneath the cylindrical structure, two cords extend downward, ending in white, wall-mounted plugs. The juxtaposition of everyday objects arranged in this manner invites contemplation on the nature of art and the role of ordinary items in an artistic context.
