Head On

The Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang, constructed 'Head On,' out of 99 wolves made of clay, hay, and dyed sheep wool. This exhibition was first displayed in Berlin's Guggenheim Museum, where he focused on the Berlin Wall. It is now at the Guggenheim in New York. Qiang's creations tend to be large and way extraordinary, as you can see by his 'Black Rainbow.' He should come to St. Louis, he seems to be all about the arches!

Wow, the first one is intense. Are they real?

No, they're actually lifesize wolves made of straw and sheep wool...which I think is ironic, they're actually a bunch of wolves dressed in sheeps clothing. Ha!
