Mr. Brainwash (Thierry Guetta, French, b. 1966) is renowned for his dynamic fusion of pop culture, street art, and conceptual expression, often drawing comparisons to contemporary art icons such as Jeff Koons and KAWS. His Silver Beagle (2020) is a stunning, chrome-painted fiberglass sculpture that captures the essence of beloved comic strip characters, reimagined in a fresh and contemporary way. Standing at 90.2 cm tall (32.5″ x 30.5″ x 23.5″), this captivating piece is part of a sold-out edition of only 8 sculptures, each one uniquely crafted, making it a rare and highly coveted work of art.
The Silver Beagle is an intriguing combination of whimsical playfulness and refined technique, drawing visual parallels to Jeff Koons’ balloon animals and KAWS’ signature characters. With its oversized proportions, bold design, and reflective surfaces, the sculpture demands attention in any space. As with Koons’ iconic Balloon Rabbit, which sold for $91M at auction in 2019, Mr. Brainwash’s Silver Beagle stands as an affordable yet highly sought-after alternative to high-end contemporary collectibles.
What makes Silver Beagle especially valuable is not just its visual impact but the connection to Mr. Brainwash’s unique artistic approach. He frequently explores the intersection of consumer culture and fine art, evoking childhood nostalgia while commenting on the commercialization of contemporary art. Silver Beagle is no exception, offering a playful take on the figure of the beloved beagle, traditionally a symbol of loyalty and joy.
The sculpture comes directly from Mr. Brainwash’s Los Angeles studio and is accompanied by a Certification of Authenticity, with a Dollar Bill Serial Identifier—proof of its authenticity and the artist’s signature style.
This collectible is a prime example of Mr. Brainwash’s ability to blend art and culture in a meaningful and accessible way.
