You might argue that the one of the works that American artist Jeff Koons is most famous for—an overscale sculpture of a balloon-animal dog—belongs more in a kids' room than on, say, the roof of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Well, thanks to funding by skincare company Kiehls, in collaboration with non-profit org RxArt, that's the case on the radiology floor of the Advocate Hope Children's Hospital in Oak Lawn, Ill. Koons enlivened an exam room with a handful of his best-known designs, including "Monkey," decals he applied directly to a Philips CT Scanner; "Balloon Dog," "Hanging Heart" and "Donkey" have been used as wallpaper. Best of all, Koons leaped at the chance to do the project and didn't pocket a penny—now that, folks, is design that does good.
