Visitor breaks iconic balloon dog sculpture in Miami

For those unfamiliar with Jeff Koons, he is a contemporary artist known for his larger-than-life sculptures, often inspired by everyday objects. One of his most famous works is the Balloon Dog, a series of sculptures resembling popular children's party decorations. It marries the traditional process of fine porcelain production with new, never before applied technologies to achieve the dog's iconic hyper-polished metallic-like surface. ⁠The broken sculpture in Miami as part of this series, and it's a shame to see such a beloved work of art damaged.
