From celebrated French porcelain tableware company Bernardaud, and the Art Production Fund came a collector’s item plate conceived by leading artist Jeff Koons. The design of this special edition Limoges porcelain plate is a direct reference of Jeff Koons “Popeye series” sculpture Acrobat, an inflatable lobster balanced atop two readymades, a trash can and a chair.

The idea behind this picture brings to mind the classical concept of beauty through the equilibrium of mind and body. I can’t think of a better porcelain company than Bernardaud, who over the years have had some of the most successful collaborations with top artists as Roy Lichtenstein, Cindy Sherman, George Segal, Joeph Kosuth, Arman, César, Pae White, and James Brown, to present this unforgettable piece which bears the image  of the shape of a peace sign And the fact that the graphics are in black and white (we get enough colors from our food) makes the patterns even more striking. The project was made possible through a gracious contribution from Sotheby’s.
