A new world auction record has been set for a work by a living artist

Jeff Koons - Rabbit

 

$91,075,000 (including buyer's premium)

 

In the past week, I went to go see it 4 times. It was like a religious experience. The way it was displayed was meant to evoke that feeling.

 

 

 

 

They hyped it so much and it got the desired price.

I don't get it, It's a rabbit... who cares... some people just have too much money, to the point where they are legit bored of ways to spend it.

That's the point. Koons is best known for his balloon animals. There's a billionaire checklist if you collect art. One of the first things you have to have is a Koons balloon figure.
