Puppy

Since 1997, Jeff Koons’ monumental sculpture "Puppy" has stood sentinel in front of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (Basque Country, Spain). More than 12 meters tall, the West Highland Terrier is carpeted with flowering plants, referencing the formal gardens of the 18th-century European elite while nodding to pop culture imagery and objects like Chia Pets. Puppy is a permanent installation, but from time to time the plants that make up the sculpture’s exterior need to be replaced with fresh seasonal varieties. Originally, the US-American artist Jeff Koons created this sculpture for the Documenta in Kassel in 1992. Today Puppy can be admired in front of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.
