Koons is a designer. He hires craftsmen to actually sculpt his pieces.
So who is the artist who made this?

The buyer was either an idiot who inherited the money, or it’s a form of non-cash payment for some other purpose, with the rabbit just being a legal proxy for the transfer.

Money laundering, or else some people have entirely too much money.

“Art”, helping to find the rich and retarded, “art”.

So who is the artist who made this?
An architect is only a designer but other’s build the buildings. Who gets the credit for a beautiful building, the workers or the designer?
This is true in many creative fields. An individual has the vision but often requires skilled craftsmen to bring it to light.

The valuation of art obviously often doesn’t seem to make any sense. If you have time, watch the documentary “Who the #$&% is Jackson Pollack” (99 cent rental on iTunes, probably could find it free somewhere online).

The one thing one must understand about the art market...
Price has very little to do with quality.

The buyer was either an idiot who inherited the money,It's how super rich people launder their money. They'll donate it later and value that "loss" at $150 million to set off the gains from some other asset sale. The galleries, museum curators and auctioneers are all in on it.
