Oodles of Poodles

Kind mit Pudeln

One of the most amazing things I saw at the San Francisco MOMA was the above piece by artist Katharina Fritsch Kind mit Pudeln (1995-1996). Yes, that is 224 black poodles surrounding a baby lying on an eight pointed star. The poodles are arranged on the points of the star in perfect symmetry. It fills the room and is quite a sight as one walks in, unaware, to be confronted by this mass of doggy alignment. I love museums!
