A Miami woman is being blamed for accidentally breaking a balloon dog sculpture by Jeff Koons.
The woman was attending the Art Wynwood fair in Miami last week when she accidentally broke a balloon dog sculpture.
The shiny, electric blue sculpture was being displayed at Bel-Air Fine Art’s booth during the fair’s VIP Preview show.
Officials say an unnamed art collector unintentionally kicked the pedestal the sculpture was sitting on, breaking the 42-thousand-dollar piece.
An art advisor with Bel-Air Fine Art said, “This kind of thing unfortunately happens, that is why the artwork was covered by insurance. When this thing fell to the ground, it was like how a car accident draws a huge crowd on the highway.”
