About Wild Boy and Puppy

“Wild Boy and Puppy” is a sculpture created by Jeff Koons in 1988, in the United States. It is crafted from porcelain and is a notable example of the Neo-Pop Art movement. The artwork features a whimsical, playful design typical of the genre.

The artwork presents a brightly colored, cartoon-like portrayal of a boy and a puppy. The boy has radiant, spiky red hair, large eyes, and is dressed in an orange shirt and green shorts. The lively puppy by his side is depicted with exaggerated, comical features such as large, expressive eyes and a vibrant yellow coat. They are positioned on a smooth, oval base, with the puppy holding a red stick in its mouth and the boy holding a basket containing an additional animated character. The overall composition exudes a cheerful, childlike innocence, highlighting Koons’ ability to blend kitsch with high art.
