Macy's Floats Koons' Rabbit
(New York Times, November 23, 2007)

Jeff Koons' famous 1986 stainless-steel Rabbit sculpture was transformed into a 53 x 26-foot inflatable for this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The giant bunny joined Shrek, Hello Kitty Supercute, Abby Cadabby, and Arrtie the Pirate as a new character in the parade, but it has the distinct honor of being the first piece commissioned for Macy's Blue Sky Gallery. One of the biggest challenges was replicating Rabbit's reflective surface, which was achieved by covering the helium balloon with metallic-coated fabric. In a related story, Koons' Hanging Heart (Magenta/Gold) recently sold for $23.6 million at Sotheby's in New York, making him "the priciest living artist at auction."
