It was made in 2002 within the framework of the Popeye Series and is now in possession of the Collection Uli Knecht.
Monkeys (Chair) is an example of Koons's strategy of mashing up ideas and methods of Pop, Conceptual, and appropriation art with handicraft and popular culture.
The transfer into another material creates new static conditions which allow the attachment of the chair at the lowest end of the chain.
The monkeys seem to be made of plastic, but this impression contradicts the sculpture's static properties.
If the chain of monkeys was made of inflatable toys, it could not support the heavy weight of the chair.
