Donkey (Colored), 1999

In this edition, Jeff Koons combines the outline of a donkey (based on the donkey character in Winnie-the-Pooh) with vibrant, watercolor-like lithographic inks that lend the print an extraordinary depth. The work is a homage to childhood and innocence, connecting to the central visual language of his Easyfun series. Created after the Celebration series – in which Koons reflected on childhood memories – this piece offers a new perspective: inspired by his own experience of fatherhood, it celebrates the naive, playful worldview of youth.
