Although part of me agrees with what Ross Lovegrove wrote on his ‘plastic puppy,’ “When the world faces massive environmental issues, why are we making plastic dogs” (top right), I still thought the entire Puppy Love: Puppies Fight Cancer exhibit was absolutely fantastic. If you missed our earlier post on it, the quick background is pretty simple: Luminaire teamed up with Christies, they gave out plastic puppies to 35 world renowned artists, architects and designers, urging them to create unique (and auction-able creations). Puppies start at $5000 and all the proceed go directly towards cancer research. It was hard to pick favorites, and even harder to pull the tricker on a bid at that price, but Jose Parla’s puppy (bottom right) was easily one of the ‘best in show’– we look forward to seeing his exhibit, Cityscapes, later tonight. More pictures of the pups after the jump!
