Ua uhaʻi wale kekahi mea ʻohi kiʻi i kahi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi "balloon dog" Jeff Koons, i waiwai ʻia he $42,000, ma kahi ʻahaʻaina no Miami ma ka Pōʻalima.

"Ua pihoihoi au a ua kaumaha iki no ia," i ʻōlelo ʻo Cédric Boero, ka mea nāna i mālama i ka hale kiʻi i hōʻike ʻia i ke kiʻi, i haʻi aku iā NPR. "Akā, ua hilahila loa ka wahine a ʻaʻole ʻo ia i ʻike pehea e kala aku ai."

Ua hōʻike ʻia ke kiʻi i haki ʻia ma ka hale hoʻohala oʻO Bel-Air Fine Art, kahi ʻo Boero he luna ʻāpana, ma kahi hanana hiʻohiʻona kūʻokoʻa no Art Wynwood, kahi hoʻolaha kiʻi o kēia manawa. ʻO ia kekahi o nā kiʻi kiʻi ʻīlio baluna a Koons, nona nā kiʻi kiʻi holoholona baluna e ʻike koke ʻia a puni ka honua. ʻEhā makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hoʻokumu ʻo Koons i kahi moʻolelo no ka hana ʻoi loakūʻai ʻia ma ke kūʻai ʻana e kekahi mea pena kiʻi ola: he kii lapi i kuaiia no $91.1 miliona. I ka makahiki 2013, he kiʻi ʻīlio baluna ʻē aʻe o Koonskūʻai ʻia no $58.4 miliona.

ʻO ke kiʻi i wāwahi ʻia, e like me ka Boero, ua waiwai ʻia ma $24,000 i ka makahiki i hala. Ua piʻi naʻe kona kumukūʻai ma muli o ke kūʻai ʻia ʻana o nā kiʻi kiʻi ʻīlio baluna.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Boero, ua kīkē ʻole ka mea ʻohi kiʻi i ke kiʻi, a hāʻule i lalo i ka papahele. ʻO ke kani ʻana o ke kiʻi ʻāhaʻi i hoʻōki koke i nā kamaʻilio ʻana ma ke ākea, i ka huli ʻana o nā mea a pau e nānā.

"Ua haki ʻia i hoʻokahi tausani ʻāpana," i hoʻopuka ʻia e kahi mea pena i hele i ka hanana, ʻo Stephen Gamson, ma Instagram, me nā wikiō o ka hopena. "ʻO kekahi o nā mea pupule loa aʻu i ʻike ai."

Ma kāna pou, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Gamson ua hoʻāʻo ʻo ia e kūʻai i nā mea i koe o ke kiʻi. ʻO ia ma hopehaʻi aku i kaMiami Herald ua hoʻohui ka moʻolelo i ka waiwai o ke kiʻi i wāwahi ʻia.

ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ua uhi ʻia ke kiʻi kumukūʻai e ka ʻinikua.

"Ua haki, no laila ʻaʻole mākou hauʻoli i kēlā," wahi a Boero. "Akā, he pūʻulu kaulana mākou o nā hale kiʻi 35 i ka honua holoʻokoʻa, no laila he kulekele ʻinikua mākou. E uhi ʻia mākou e kēlā. "
