'Puppy', a massive floral sculpture by artist Jeff Koons, stands in front of the Bilbao Guggenheim. A West Highland terrier, he is 40' tall and gets a makeover twice a year with fresh flowers.
The Kelpies in Falkirk, Scotland. Kelpies are mythological beasts and these ones were created by Andy Scott in 2013. Their names are Duke and Baron. They are 100' tall and, yes, you can go inside.
I have seen, and been inside, the kelpies when they first opened and was quite taken with them. Would love to see puppy (and the Guggenheim). I couldn't find out what year this card's photo was taken.
ReplyDeleteYes the puppy would be quite a sight as indeed is the Guggenheim itself.
ReplyDeleteMy sculptures by chance include a rather smaller Koons here
woah!!!! both impressive sculptures!! I love both! :-)
ReplyDeleteThose are both amazing, and both things I'd love to see in person.
