Jeff Koons reimagines his spectacular floral public artwork as a new limited edition pair. 

This duo edition is based on Split-Rocker, a towering ‘living’ sculpture that merges two children’s toys – a rocking horse and a rocking dinosaur. First exhibited in 2000, the original 37-foot stainless steel structure is covered with over 50,000 flowering plants that are cultivated by a dedicated team. The latest of these monumental sculptures is currently installed at LACMA, which this release supports.

The work came about when Jeff imagined combining his son's toy pony with a dinosaur rocker, back in the ‘90s, fusing them into a single whimsical form. Presented here as a pair, the two playful hybrids, crafted in tinted beech wood, exemplify the artist’s signature approach: elevating everyday objects and childhood nostalgia into art that captivates audiences worldwide.

The editions are made from tinted beech wood, distilling the playful spirit of the original full-scale sculpture. Each is individually numbered and features an engraved signature.
