About The Artwork

Warren Buffet and Jeff Koons meet in New York to discuss a deal. There is no evidence that the two are concerned about the great art, but certainly about the great money. Buffet, one of the richest men in the world, buys art as an object of speculation in order to increase his fortune. As a 16-year-old, he was already earning a few thousand dollars by delivering newspapers, polishing cars and selling used golf balls. Now, at an advanced age, he becomes aware of an American artist, Jeff Koons, whose artwork "Balloon Dogs (Orange)", auctioned on November 12, 2013, earned 58.4 million US dollars. Koons uses consumer culture products as a starting point and alienates or imitates them. In this way, he also works with objects from everyday art and advertising, repeatedly resorting to sexual and other key stimuli. Due to their ironic effect, his works of art can be placed between kitsch and art. Buffet arranges a meeting from billionaire to millionaire. It doesn't take place here in a noble lounge of a New York luxury hotel (as it probably happened), but on a scrap yard. The collector intends to purchase Jeff Koons' "Balloon Swan (Magenta)" from 2017: "Art" with the prospect of appreciation. A small sculpture stands in the open hood of a scrapped car. Will both agree? A Francis Bacon is worth 142.4 million dollars to the art market. Auctions are carried by the richest people in the world, who compete with each other and act speculatively. A few years ago, 100 million dollars was the limit. Now the 200 million is approaching. This is the dance around the Golden Calf and reflects the absurd distribution of goods in the world.
