Puppy by Jeff Koons is a giant floral sculpture of a puppy, which the title obviously gives away. Adorably whimsical, this art installation rivals the lovable nature of Clifford the Big Red Dog. Instead of simply roaming around the imaginary place known as Birdwell Island, this flowery puppy has traveled to different sites including Versailles, France, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney.
An impressive creation for its scale alone, Puppy by Jeff Koons is unlike his past urban sculptures. First of all, he uses natural materials and, secondly, his interpretation of a puppy is pretty head-on, which is an interesting contrast to his glass balloon animal sculptures. This live-plant sculpture is one for the books.
