Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse references contemporary art in Guggenheim scene

In the animated film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, a scene set at the Guggenheim Museum in New York features the Vulture, a Renaissance-inspired villain, criticizing contemporary art. The character, drawn in a Renaissance style, destroys a magenta Balloon Dog by Jeff Koons, which is credited in the film's end titles. Spider-Gwen confronts him, quipping that the art is 'more of a social commentary.' The film's visual style incorporates elements from comic history, Pop Art, and references to artists like Jeff Koons and techniques such as Ben-Day dots, echoing Lichtenstein. The sequence also includes a glass ceiling collapse and a helicopter caught in webs, with a visitor exclaiming 'I think it's a Banksy.' The film is a sequel to the acclaimed first chapter, featuring Miles Morales and multiple Spider-People from parallel universes.
