This edition is based on a large sculpture outside the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. The original Puppy is a 12 metres high sculpture made of steel and live flowers. This representation of a West Highland terrier opens up the dialogue between the organic and the inorganic. Both past and present are evoked in the original sculpture, which references an 18th century formal garden, but is made using advanced computer modelling.
Puppy PP1 was created as an edition when the giant sculpture was placed in the forecourt of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in 1998.
