- A woman visiting a Miami art fair accidentally knocked over a $42,000 Jeff Koons balloon animal piece Thursday, causing it to shatter. Koons' famous sculptures resemble balloon animals but are actually made of porcelain and are considered very fragile.

Just sell it again as another work of art. It's even more unique now
I'd buy it. In the garbage bag it's in. I could prolly get 84k
She didn't "accidentally" knock it over exactly. She gave it a thunk. I've seen people do this. When I was in a gallery in Santa Fe, many years ago, I saw a guy come up to a painting, which was painted on aluminum. He must not have been quite sure, so he gave it a "thunk" and you could hear it. If he had done that to the balloon sculpture, it would have been his embarrassing moment to break a sculpture, I think. I saw how hard he whacked it. I think it must be similar to what she did.
That is what I originally heard.Maybe she thought that it was bronze.
Aww trust me there’s more in the warehouse… not a biggie
How was that worth $42,000???
It's Art.
It these is. You get it or you don't. I collect art and a perfect example I can look at a piece of art for hours. When others may not see what's the big deal.

@@MattMatt77 ah yes random scribbles on a canvas worth more than this
@@radityarifki957 Imagine getting upset about physical art for $42k.
But yelling that a digital picture (NFT) has physical value.
🤦♂️
........hipsters....
Cant take you anywhere Didn't your mama tell you not to touch stuff!!? Keren!!
These say "sorry it was a accident", and if they are still mad then THEY are the problem... not you.
Normal People.
Who determines the value. The value is plucked out of thin air.
@Michael Dahmen the artist made up the value.
The buyer
Lol the value of art is purely based on what people are willing to pay for it. Simple as that
i’m sure this wasn’t staged for publicity purposes or anything cuz that would be outrageous
Hmmmmmmm
Well I’ll be Doggone😂😂😂😂
$42,000 for a ceramic balloon sculpture! She’s lucky she didn’t have to pay for destroying a piece of art. That lady should be barred from all museums!
The question is why would anyone have something so valuable sitting in a position to be knock over and broken like that. There's people who are rotten enough to do something like this on purpose. Not to say she did. Doing it on purpose and then acting as though you are so very very sorry when you're not is easy for some people to do. And you can never know one way or the other even if you checked the video camera footage. This is the unthinkable but people these days are just that rotten.

This is honestly the galleries fault. Whose idea was it to put it on small platform with no plexiglass or anything securing it?!
Why would you put something that expensive out in the open with no safety barrier smh
The reason you shouldn't value a piece of clay that hi. It's frikin pottery. $42000? give me a break. Come on people.!
So it wasn't an "accident" at all. Stop using that word to make excuses for deliberate carelessness.
In reference to his balloon sculptures, this one was small and only $42k. He sold two large ones previously for over $51,000,000 and $91,000,000. Clearly I’m not an are connoisseur, but I know what true art is and it’s not a metallic blue balloon dog. Jeff Koons is a genius.
Money laundering
There's a really bad downside to it. You won't be able to get nowhere near that much trying to resale it if you get anything. It happens. It can become worthless overnight.
Sounds like it had a flaw of some sort, if it was that fragile it was on it's way out the next time anyone moved it, dusted it, or anything else. No one is going to miss it anyway, it didn't look like anything to write home about.
Such a loss for the posterity. It would have been more bearable to loose David by Michelangelo than that dog.
Can he make other balloon animals?
They need to make art pieces inaccessible to people by putting them behind locked barriers.
The price of everything but the value of nothing.
Glue it back together and it will be more valuable, rough life
But they first said it was an accident and the platform was kicked. Again, accidentally. Not that it was touched! Btw, if it rolled that easily it's the gallerie's fault any which way.
I don’t have a anger problem
I have a problem with stupid people
She did good
People are dying from hunger and this garbage is 42k
No loss to civilization.
Come on dude Balloon dog balloon fire station spinner
The only person willing to destroy a balloon before a million $$ missile!
Woman accidentally shatters Jeff Koons $42,000 "balloon dog" sculpture 1927pm 18.5.23 weirdly enough she shouted out: don't worry, i'm alright.
She probably thought this is an insult to Art lovers a balloon dog sculpture for $42000 oh no you're not BLOOP, oops!
lol thats a damn ballon dog
It's only worth $42k when it is being used to launder money.
My observation and experience of decades at museums and art galleries in Europe is that Americans always want to touch artefacts, paintings, furniture etc. that they like. As a teenager I visited the Versailles, the guide kindly and repeatedly told the group not to touch fabrics, paintings etc. There were also signs everywhere as kind reminders and take a wild guess which nationality it was who laid their entire hands on the things and even stroke them? It's just like that all (yes all) American women always have to scream loudly and high pitched whenever they get proposed to, gets a puppy, gets a kitten, gets an expensive gift or trip, sees their friend that they have'nt met for a week, get their favourite lunch as a surprise etc.etc.etc. I guess both phenomenons are cultural since everyone seems to be doing it.
All Americans do not do the things you say and not all American women scream at whatever you bigot.
@@matthew8417 Not mad at all, merely sharing my experience and observation of many years.
Any balloon would be viewed with extreme cautions. We need to conjure enemies to fuel the military industrial complex extreme profit target this year.
Dang karen
Don’t you know that she felt stupid
I'M SURE IT WAS AN ACCIDENT. THE ARTIST WILL PERHAPS CHOOSE TO AVOID HAVING HIS ART DISPLAYED IN THAT GALLERY AGAIN. DEFCON 2 DEFCON 3 HOVERING OVER ALL OUR HEADS

And you think this is funny? Any on purpose destruction of another's property is mean and disrespectful! You teach your children that, even with their friends toys! Guess you never learned that lesson in woke class!
Wabi Sabi
Oh yes...modern art. From the same clowns that taped a banana to a wall and sold it for $100k. The must've started letting everyone into art school after the Austrian painter caused so much trouble.
Nate, breakable braids and ponytail. Next is un-beweaveable!
Genuinely perplexed as to why this guy finds this so funny/amusing. He’s as disrespectful as the Karen that broke it.
It’s not that funny
