Jeff Koons again amazes us again with this beautiful art work of this enormous puppy. As we look at this image its incredible that he can make large scale Art pieces like this. What also is amazing is how he makes things like this work. This puppy is made from stainless steel, it also has a water system in side of it that functions throughout the whole piece. We can also see geotextile fabric, and various colors in the flowers to make it form a whole piece. This is a massive size model with it being 43 feet high. It has been moved around to several locations the latest in 2000 at New York. This would truly be a site to see and something that people go to see allot.
Koons uses many different things and way to perform his art work. Some of his most typical type of work deal with kitsch imagining, and of course he is known for his massive scale models. This was installed at Guggenheim Museum in Spain. It was made after a West Highland Terrier, we don't really know if he had a fixation with this breed of dog or why he picked it. Like most of his art work like the previous Michael Jackson one he likes to enlarge things beyond their normal size. He works in variety as he also has adopted to be somewhat of a balloon man with his inflatable sculptures and art pieces. This Puppy is fr the city of Bilbao, which hold over 25 tons of soil watered by an irrigation system. As we look at the detail and time out into this we can count over 70,000 flowers ranging in all different colors and types, a few such as marigolds, and petunias. As many people travel to see this huge sculpture we can think of what made him make this but simply can think that who doesn't love a giant puppy.
When I look at this can think of what it reminds me of its kind of hard and yet very simple. We see dogs and cats, and animals in our everyday life. What we don't know if how much we can connect ourselves to these creatures. Dogs are mans best friend as the sain goes and maybe that's what he was trying to prevail. That we are with these animals all the time and don't think about how important or how they can benefit us. I see him making this sculpture to give credit to animals or in this case the Dog which deserves respects just like everything else.
