Additional Details: "Lips" by Jeff Koons is a limited edition porcelain plate, produced in 2012 by Bernardaud in France, with an edition size of 2,500 individually numbered plates. Measuring 12.5 inches in diameter and 1.25 inches in height, it exemplifies Koons' signature approach to blending fine art with everyday objects.

Koons creates these types of objects to challenge traditional boundaries between art, consumerism, and luxury. By transforming a functional item like a plate into an artistic collectible, he comments on the intersection of mass production and high-end craftsmanship. Collaborating with Bernardaud emphasizes exquisite artistry, while the limited edition adds exclusivity.

Inspired by Pop Art, Koons appropriates sensual imagery, such as the lips, to explore desire, luxury, and consumption. His work critiques art’s role as a commodity in capitalist culture, embracing both its mass appeal and conceptual depth. This plate serves as a statement on the fusion of high and low culture, making it a valuable addition for collectors of contemporary art. See less
