A set of two artist's edition skate decks by Jeff Koons, produced in 2023 in collaboration with a Brussels-based publisher of artist skateboard editions. The decks reproduce imagery from Koons's Pink Panther — the 1988 porcelain sculpture that helped define his Banality series, in which he elevated commercial-character kitsch (Buster Keaton, Michael Jackson, the Pink Panther) into the vocabulary of art-historical seriousness.
