The artwork, titled “Donkey,” was created by the artist Jeff Koons in 1997 in the United States. Crafted from steel, this piece exemplifies the Neo-Pop Art movement and falls within the genre of sculpture.
The sculpture presents a minimalist and highly reflective depiction of a donkey. With a polished, mirror-like surface, the form is characterized by its simplistic and abstracted outline, capturing the essence of a donkey in an unembellished yet distinctive silhouette. The lack of intricate details and the smooth, shiny finish evoke a sense of modernity and industrial precision, aligning with the aesthetic principles of Neo-Pop Art. The artwork’s unadorned form invites viewers to engage with its reflective qualities, both literally and metaphorically, as they contemplate their own interpretations and reflections within its surface.
