This Magenta egg with and orange bow is part of the ‘Celebration Series’ which he began in 1994.

Jeff Koons made 10 eggs. 5 have a smooth surface and the other 5 have a rougher and a more wrinklier finish, which are called “ baroque eggs”

The design refers to ideas such as (re)birth and fertility.

The coating technique is similar to the one used in the automotive industry.
