American artist and sculptor Jeff Koons has teamed up with vintage champagne brand Dom Pérignon to create a sculpture for their Rosé 2003. The sculpture is a miniature version of his Balloon Venus sculpture (currently on view at the Gagosian Gallery in New York City) and contains a bottle of the champagne. The original Balloon Venus was inspired by the Venus of Willendorf, a statue over 25,000 years old that was discovered in 1908 in Austria.
Koons has also created limited edition gift-boxes for the Rosé and for a Brut 2004 which will be unveiled at some point this spring.
