New Shelton Wet/Dry Doubledecker belongs to The New series, where Koons presented various cleaning appliances in pristine Plexiglas cases illuminated by cool white fluorescent lights, giving a glow that displayed a sense of newness and immortality. Drawn to the anthropomorphic features of the Wet/Dry, Koons was interested in the idea of breath, a symbol of life energy, and the philosophical references. The Wet/Dry logo being in dialogue with the duality of Kierkegaards Either/Or and Sartres Being and Nothingness. The New Shelton Wet/Dry Doubledecker Skateboard depicts a close-up image of the sculpture, which belongs in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Jeff Koons
