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.

Dang karen
Aww trust me there’s more in the warehouse… not a biggie
I'm so excited 😊, my life has totally changed since I invested $13,500 and now make $34,970 every 14 days
Who determines the value. The value is plucked out of thin air.
These say "sorry it was a accident", and if they are still mad then THEY are the problem… not you.
Normal People.
How was that worth $42,000???
So it wasn't an "accident" at all. Stop using that word to make excuses for deliberate carelessness.
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.
Glue it back together and it will be more valuable, rough life
Ugly anyway
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!
i’m sure this wasn’t staged for publicity purposes or anything cuz that would be outrageous
Genuinely perplexed as to why this guy finds this so funny/amusing. He’s as disrespectful as the Karen that broke it.
Cant take you anywhere Didn't your mama tell you not to touch stuff!!? Keren!!
😢
Well I’ll be Doggone😂😂😂😂
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.
lol thats a damn ballon dog
Way too overpriced for something that simple looking.
The reason you shouldn't value a piece of clay that hi. It's frikin pottery. $42000? give me a break. Come on people.!
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.
What God cannot do, does not exist
Thank you Jesus for the gift of life and Blessings upon me and my family. $32,000 weekly profit Our lord Jesus have lifted up my Life!!!
People are dying from hunger and this garbage is 42k
Make that woman pay for it.
It’s not that funny
Can he make other balloon animals?
Every time I see these videos I laugh so hard. That’s what you get for trying to charge so much for bad art.
Why would you put something that expensive out in the open with no safety barrier smh
Don’t you know that she felt stupid
I JUST WANNA SEE HOW IT HAPPENED 🥲
Nate, breakable braids and ponytail. Next is un-beweaveable!
$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!
This is honestly the galleries fault. Whose idea was it to put it on small platform with no plexiglass or anything securing it?!
I don’t have a anger problem
I have a problem with stupid people
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.
Any balloon would be viewed with extreme cautions. We need to conjure enemies to fuel the military industrial complex extreme profit target this year.
Just sell it again as another work of art. It's even more unique now
They need to make art pieces inaccessible to people by putting them behind locked barriers.
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.
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.
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.
