Koons, Jeff | Cracked Egg (Red), 2008 — available on Composition Gallery
Aluminium multiple with red glaze. Published by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, as an invitation for the opening of the Broad Contemporary Art Museum, lacking the original invitation card and the original box. Unsigned; Unnumbered.
Jeff Koons's Cracked Egg (Red) (2008) is a small but commanding aluminium multiple, cast and finished with a vivid red glaze that gives the broken shell a lacquered, jewel-like intensity. The cracked egg is one of Koons's most loaded symbols -- simultaneously evoking birth, vulnerability, the promise of new life, and the gleaming surfaces of consumer desire. Conceived as an invitation multiple for the opening of the Broad Contemporary Art Museum at LACMA, it connects Koons's Pop sensibility to one of Los Angeles's most significant cultural milestones. Despite its modest scale, the work carries all of the artist's characteristic formal precision: each curve of the fractured shell is rendered with immaculate control, transforming a humble object into something closer to a jewel.

What is appropriation?
Artwork by Shepard Fairey

What is appropriation?

Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
