Pink Panther is a ceramic sculpture done in 1988 by Koons. The sculpture is of the famous Pink Panther and a blonde woman that is naked from the waste up. Koons idea for this work was for men to get a sexual arousement.
In this scupture, the blonde woman has that certain happy grin on her face that she is going to get pleasure from the pink panther. The pink panther looks sad that he is just being used as a sex tool, but he has his arms wrapped around her as if he was aroused and attached to the half naked woman.
This work of art to me is deffinitely an image of one guys fantasy world of sexuality. It seems to me that Koons was thinking of sexual images and wanted to created one of his own for people to see and hoped that it could also arouse other males. The bright colors used are to show the excitement and happiness of what sexuality brings to a male or female.
Quoted in a catalogue explained by Carter B. Horsley, Jeff Koons says that, "Pink Panther is about masturbation. I don't know what she would be doing with the Pink Panther other than taking it home to masterbate with."
