American artist Jeff Koons is used to surprising and innovating. Perhaps his most prestigious sculpture ‘Balloon Dog‘ sold in 2013 for $58.4 million, making it the most expensive piece of art sold at auction by a living artist. Like most pop-artists his work doesn’t just sit on the walls of the rich-and-famous, it transcends from multi-million sculptures to album covers. His latest work is a first for him, as he ventures from gigantic, gallery-dwelling art to digital.
