"The Rabbit has a chameleon quality. It could be a symbol of resurrection and easter, the symbol of Playboy, the symbol of the politician an orator, or anything that people viewing it want it to be. Whatever you want to see in the Rabbitt, it invites you to do that. It is about confiding and affirming."
- Jeff Koons
American artist Jeff Koons is well known for transforming vinyl inflatables into sculptures cast into metal, such as his stainless steel Rabbit from the 'Statuary’ series. Koons collaborated with his friend, fashion designer Stella McCartney, to create Rabbit from the most precious of metals, platinum. This playful, iconic rabbit is depicted in the form of a necklace and comes in a small wooden crate (in the manner of an artwork), inside which an elaborate acrylic case encloses the jewellery. In a similar manner, Koons and McCartney also made a bracelet.
