That amounts to about $500 to make sure an artwork that is essentially priceless isn't deteriorating too quickly or substantially—compared to say, $100,000 every year to water your Jeff Koons flower puppy. It's welcome proof that not all improvised balloon contraptions sent into mountain state skies are doomed to end in mock disaster and controversy (although Eppich said that a few balloons did pop in the summer heat).
