The full name of the breed is Bluetick Coonhound, which is a medium-large hound dog native to the United States that sports a trademark blue-ticked pattern on their short, smooth coat. These dogs generally have a friendly, sweet, and loyal disposition, used both for hunting and companionship. This doesn't look like one.
However, it's an appropriate title for this work, depicting what "Balloon Dog" from Jeff Koons' "Celebration" series would look like reimagined by Yves Klein.
Ceramic sculpture hand painted in a remarkably intense shade of blue, incorporating KA$M's signature humour and depth. Unique piece from his "Re-Klein" series of works.
With saltire monogram verso, signed on base.
