Description
About the ceramic cow
Predominant colors in this whimsical take on Picasso are pink and red. Indeed, the ceramic cow is the exact reproduction of the life-size cow showcased at the Austin CowParade exhibit in 2011. It features a medium size cow grazing. This Partying with Pi-COW-So" punctuated by lips, hearts, and other interesting shapes, is a follow-up to last year's popular Museum Edition reproduction of this cow. In short, the artist Allison Gregory wanted to reveal Pablo Picasso painting work and Cubism influence. By the way, Allison Gregory was the only painter who designed four cows for the Austin Cow Parade. Obviously, this cow "name involves a play on words to the famous artist Picasso. The ceramic cow is part of the CowParade figurines Museum Edition. It always comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and a soft dust bag.
