The Guggenheim Bilbao in Spain has launched a crowdfunding campaign to restore a monumental flower sculpture by Jeff Koons. Organizers are seeking €100,000 ($118,000) in donations to repair Koons’ Puppy, a 39-foot-tall likeness of a West Highland white terrier that has stood guard at the museum’s entrance for 24 years.

The flower-covered sculpture of a west highland terrier stands at the entrance to the museum. Its vibrant 38,000 plants, which include petunias, impatiens, marigolds and begonias, are replaced twice a year.

The sculpture’s vibrant exterior remains in good shape, but a recent technical analysis undertaken by the museum’s conservation department revealed that 24 years in the open air, parts of the irrigation system are leaking and need to be replaced, as does some of the stainless steel structure. The campaign, dubbed “Bring Puppy to Life,” was launched soon after the results of that report were released.

“We decided to crowdfund because it’s a work that’s so iconic and loved and photographed and so representative of the city and we want to give all the people who love the Puppy the chance to participate in restoring what is both a work of art and a vertical garden,” Begoña Martínez Goyenaga, the museum’s communications head, told the Guardian.

In an interview with the Guggenheim this year, Koons said: “Puppy was inspired by my visits to Europe’s baroque cathedrals and the way they achieve this balance between the symmetrical and the asymmetrical and between the eternal and the ephemeral.”

At time of publication, the crowdfunding campaign has so far raised about 13 percent of its goal, or nearly €13,000. The campaign will remain active through the fall. Restoration is slated to begin in late September and be completed in November.
