Puppy Guggenheim

Puppy, the large floral puppy of the West Highland White Terrier breed, welcomes us to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. This artwork was created by American artist Jeff Koons. The second version of this piece was installed in Bilbao in October 1997. This work comes to life and changes its appearance depending on the flowers placed inside its steel structure, which “entails an uneven, riotous pattern of growth that gives the work a life of its own, alluding to the power of life in both its physical and spiritual dimensions,” according to the museum's official website.
