This piece is very intriguing to almost
everyone's native eye. It is an example of Pop art at its highest form and it
is one of Jeff Koons' best pieces of work. This piece is part of the Banality series which started in 1988 with Michael Jackson and Bubbles,a series of three life-size gold-leaf plated porcelain statues of the sitting singer cuddling Bubbles, his pet chimpanzee. This piece seems recently intriguing because of Jackson's recent death. This picture depicts Jackson as a caring individual and loving his pet. It was made while Jackson was on top of the charts as the "King of Pop". Afterwards, however Jackson was accused of many things during the course of his life. From what we know now, you can't help but think if the accusations are true and to me this piece brings you back to that. Although it is visually stunning, it is a piece that is timeless and will help us to remember him forever. The piece sold for $5.6 million
