This sculpture by Jeff Koons is titled "Sacred Heart". It was completed in 2007 as a part of his "Celebration" collection and was one of three of his other sculptures donned on the Canter Roof Garden on top of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2008. This collection features multiple sculptures that embody joy and celebration; he plays with many different figures and colors in sculptures that are made out of stainless steel with a mirror polish. I really loved this sculpture because it seems to defy the laws of physics by standing upright on a single point. I especially loved how he was able to make the stainless steel look like it is encasing the heart within a dainty looking red gift wrap. To me, the sculpture portrays the heart was a delicate and cherished gift.
