This catalogue, edited by Anette Hüsch, documents Jeff Koons' major Celebration series -large-scale, mirror-polished stainless-steel sculptures and paintings -on display at the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin in late 2008. With high-resolution colour illustrations and scholarly essays (by Hüsch, Peter Klaus Schuster, and others), it explores the conceptual and fabrication processes behind works such as Balloon Dog, Balloon Flower, and Hanging Heart. The texts situate Celebration within Koons' artistic trajectory, emphasising how childhood imagery is re?presented through monumental adult scale and gloss to provoke reflections on desire, spectacle, commodity, and the artist's performative identity. The catalogue analyses technical innovation, scale, surface finish, and art-istorical positioning, making clear that the exhibition marked a pivotal moment in Koons' career and in the reception of his oeuvre.
