Workers Install Paul McCarthy's Balloon Dog, photo by Fred R. Conrad, The New York Times
Paul McCarthy's giant Balloon Dog will grace the front lawn at this year's Frieze Art Fair, which opens this weekend in NYC. The Randall's Island event will feature 180 contemporary art galleries from around the world. There's a terrific section on their website where you can view all the works here.
Todd Levin, doing a little Frieze recon, reports on Jerry Saltz's Facebook page that smaller, residential friendly versons of McCarthy's Balloon Dog will be available at Hauser & Wirth's booth.
P.S. Remember when Paul McCarthy's Complex Shit blew away in Switzerland? It recently made headlines again for deflating in Hong Kong at the Mobile M+: Inflation! outdoor art project. [via The Huffington Post via Rosanne Burke]
P.P.S. I guess Jeff Koons really doesn't own the balloon dog.
