"One of the best known artists, an undoubtedly influential heir of American Pop Art, creates a collection in simple colorful shapes. They are pastel-colored shadows where you can recognize a kid goat, a kangaroo, a teddy bear, a monkey, a cow, a giraffe, a pony and a donkey. These shadows recall the slightly kitsch paraphernalia of comic strips, but also the patterns found throughout the whole of Neo Pop artist Jeff Koons’ work: sculptures made with colorful balloons, flowers or china." - Illy, official website Illy Art Collection of coffee mugs featuring Jeff Koons and manufactured by Rosenthal. Three cups out of a complete series of six.
