Doggone it! An iconic sculpture in the shape of a dog by renowned American artist Jeff Koons shattered to pieces after a guest at a Miami art fair accidentally knocked it over.

The incident took place during a preview event for VIPs at Art Wynwood, a contemporary fair in Miami, last Thursday.

Koons is well known for his series of large stainless-steel "balloon" sculptures, and smaller porcelain versions, which resemble the inflated creations clowns make when they twist balloons into the shapes of animals.
